A lot of Maple Leafs fans have been hearing about Dmitry Ovchinnikov lately. As of Sunday morning, he’s one point off the top of the list in the MHL, the junior league that’s affiliated with the KHL. He has 13 goals and 22 assists in only 22 games played for Sibirskie Snaipery, and if you go for points per game, he’s top of the league.
Late breaking update: He now leads!
