KHL names Zhafyarov, Samoylov, Miromanov players of the week
Zhafyarov had 8 points in three games, Samoylov won all three starts, Miromanov scored SKA's winner over Traktor, and Solovyov was top rookie.
The KHL has named its players of the third week of the 2026/27 regular season: Aleksandr Samoylov of Severstal in goal, Daniil Miromanov of SKA on defence, Damir Zhafyarov of Neftekhimik up front and Yegor Solovyov of Shanghai as rookie of the week.
Zhafyarov took 8 points (5+3) in three games, with a plus-4 rating.
Samoylov won all three of Severstal's games, with a goals-against average of 1.33 and a save percentage of 95.35. Miromanov had 4 points (1+3) in two games. One of them was the winning goal in SKA's 4-3 victory over Traktor.
Solovyov finished with 3 points (1+2) in two games, along with 5 hits, 1 takeaway and 1 interception.
Samoylov's award follows a poor start for the Cherepovets club, who lost 5 of their first 6 games. The drought ended on 21 September with a 4-1 win over Amur, and it was the first of three straight victories.
