LATEST | Canucks prospect scores coast-to-coast overtime winner

In the seventh round, 208th overall, the Canucks selected Russian defenceman Kirill Kudryavtsev. On Saturday night, the 19-year-old scored an incredible coast-to-coast overtime winner for his Ontario Hockey League club, the Soo Greyhounds.

Kudryavtsev took the puck in his end, skated through the neutral zone, split the defencemen, then put the puck from his backhand to his forehand before firing past the blocker side of the Flint Firebirds goaltender to give the Greyhounds a 6-5 win.

Following his three-point night, Kudryavtsev is now up to 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) and is a plus-nine, with no penalty minutes, in 14 games with the Greyhounds. His overtime goal on Saturday gave the Greyhounds their ninth win of the season to extend their lead atop the West Division standings with a record of 9-5-0.
