Russian forward Ilya Kovalchuk wasted no time taking shots at and disrespecting the New Jersey Devils after he officially made his return to the NHL on July 1 when Kovy signed a three-year contract with the Los Angeles Kings.
While Kovalchuk leaving the Devils after three seasons was enough to burn down any type of reputation that he built in the Garden State, his recent comments on Saturday to the media will make Jersey’s fans “boo” him that much more when he returns back to the Prudential Center on Feb. 5, 2019.
He's back!
