Former Vancouver Canucks forward Nikolay Goldobin has reached a big milestone in the KHL recently.
Since returning to Russia, Goldobin has played for CSKA Moscow, Metalurg Magnitogorsk and now, Spartak Moscow, the latter of whom he joined ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Joining Spartak Moscow was likely the best move Nikolay Goldobin has made in his career so far. Last season, he put up 78 points (37 goals, 41 assists) in 67 games and is already off to a hot start this season, registering ten points in 16 games.
Recently, Goldobin reached a big milestone in his career and it was highlighted in a social media post by Spartak Moscow and the KHL. Goldobin, who's in his fifth season in the league, has now scored 100 goals in the KHL.
Note: the following is translated from Russian.
"🎯Congratulations to Nikolai Goldobin, who «knocked out» platinum in Khabarovsk: 100 goals is a worthy achievement."
The Moscow native is under contract with Spartak until the end of the 2025-26 season and if he's able to continue his strong play in the Kontinental Hockey League, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him return to North America and potentially sign in the NHL. But we'll have to wait and see how the next couple of seasons go.
