Blackhawks top prospect begins to turn heads with stellar play in the KHL

"We've earned our results through hard work,» Kantserov said. «We're scoring a lot, and we have a really good team. People say we're a small team, but that doesn't stop us from winning battles near the net or along the boards - and from winning games."

"This season started with three games without a goal. I felt a bit tight, but then I relaxed and things started to click. For example, last season I scored five goals in December and then went 20 games without one. It's better to produce steadily, even in smaller amounts, than to have occasional bursts. You just need to stay patient, keep working, and not get frustrated."
