The KHL has a busy slate of 10 games on Wednesday. Several big NHL stars will take the ice, including Evgeni Malkin for Metallurg Magnitogorsk, Pavel Datsyuk for CSKA Moscow, and Zdeno Chara for HC Lev Praha. There is at least one NHL player in eight of the 10 games, so there’s plenty to be aware of for NHL fans.
