Galiev had a goal, an assist, three shots, and a +1
rating in last night's game. He was playing in his first game of the series and first
game since April 26 due to injury.
Despite missing some time, the Russian forward still put
up solid playoff numbers, recording four goals and seven assists in 10 games.
In 46 regular season games he registered 23 goals and 24 assists in 46 games.
The 21-year old also played in 17 games with the AHL’s Hershey
Bears this season and had one assist. He’ll be looking to stay up with the Bears full time
next season.
This is the third straight season Galiev has won a league
championship following back-to-back Quebec Major Junior Hockey League titles with Saint John.
