With Dynamo Moscow hosting SKA St. Petersburg on a Saturday morning for those in the Eastern time zone, Matt Drake and Patrik Bexell did their own intermission report on the Canadiens prospect, SKA, and the KHL as a whole.

Timestamps:
1:00 – Roman Rotenberg as a coach and GM for SKA. 
5:00 – SKA and the playoffs, but don’t expect Demidov early even with an early exit.
9:46 – Commercial Break.
10:00 – KHL and a barnburner of a game. 
11.15 – Three minutes of ice time, not a big impact for Demidov.
12:45 – Demidov has improved defensively. 
15:45 – The increase of competition and number of games that Demidov faces this year.
18:25 – Commercial Break
18:30 – Bandy, what’s up with that?
19:30 – Second period rundown.
20:00 – The Kuznetsov factor.
21:00 – Where does Demidov fit in the line up, and bringing in another level of match coaching.
27:08 – Commercial Break.
27:10 – Third period, Demidov getting time, NHL translatability.
