Number 4

This is our lone highlight from this year at Four Nations Tournament — though there are a plethora that you can check out here.

This is simply because of how dominant Kravtsov was in Traktor’s postseason, he was truly hard to contain.

In our pick for number four, Kravtsov shows his ability to work the puck in the zone and read the offense.

In this play, Kravtsov recieves the puck with time and steps up into the play with options.

In this scenario, Kravtsov has options. While there seems to be an opportunity for him to shoot, he opts to use a play that seems logical, to make a less anticipated move. Faking a shot, he passes the puck off to Mozorov who merely has to tip the puck past the goaltender.

A flawless set up for an important goal.
