In order to retain Kravtsov's rights if he decides to return to North America following the conclusion of his KHL contract in 2025, Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin issued him a qualifying offer.
Traktor Chelyabinsk took a 1-0 series lead on Thursday, winning by a score of 3-2 and in Game 2 on Saturday, Vitali Kravtsov got into the action.
Late in the first period, Kravtsov took the puck down the wing and into Ufa's zone, where he fired it under the glove of Alexander Samonov to tie the game up at 1-1.
