Kris Versteeg had an interesting year, to say the least. He spent the past season splitting time in both the KHL and the SHL. Versteeg started the season in the KHL with Omsk Avangard, where he played 11 games and posted 5 points (3G, 2A). He would then contract shingles and was granted his release from the team. However, this is when his luck began to change for the better.
Versteeg would sign with Vaxjo HC of the SHL, where he had much better results. He boosted his offensive output to slightly under 1ppg, as he tallied 11 points (4G, 7A) through 12 regular season games.
