The CSKA of the Continental Hockey League reached an agreement on Tuesday with the striker Brendan Leipsik, who was released from the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League in the spring for inappropriate behavior on various social sites.
CSKA announced on its website on Tuesday that the team’s colors will be represented next season by 26-year-old Leipsik.
Last season, the striker NHL played 61 games, scoring three goals and scoring eight assists.
In general, during the NHL career, the attacker has also represented the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vegas Golden Knights, Vancouver Canucks, Los Angeles Kings and Capitals. He has played a total of 187 games on these teams, earning 59 performance points (16 + 43).
Leipzig’s career ended in the NHL earlier this year, when he sharply criticized the appearance of several of his league’s hockey players on Instagram, and called a lot of his team’s “hockey players” “weak players”.
Capitals quickly launched an investigation into the incident, but less than a month later, the hockey player was left without a contract.
The Nashville Predators selected the attacker in the NHL draft in 2012 with the total number 89.
The start of the KHL season is scheduled for September 2.
