Gleb Pugachyov hasn't had the start to the season he'd hoped for in Russia. The Canadiens' most recent first-round pick suffered a concussion early in the season, forcing him to miss a few games.

Obviously, that's not ideal.

The good news is that Pugachyov is now back in action. The young player was in action today in the MHL.

And he took advantage of the opportunity to record his first point of the season. On the power play, he made a nice rush up the ice to set up his teammate Vladislav Mishin.

It was a great play to cap off the scoring in a 5-0 victory for Chaika (Pugachyov's team).

It's worth noting, however, that Pugachyov wasn't the only Habs prospect in action today: Alexander Zharovsky was as well, this time in the KHL.

And Zharovsky, too, put on a great display of skill to set up a teammate: a beautiful pass from him allowed Sheldon Rempal to open the scoring.

Salavat Yulaev went on to win the game 3-1. Zharovsky did not record any points on his team's other two goals.

It was a solid day's work for the club's two top prospects in Russia, both of whom recorded an assist. Let's hope this momentum continues.
