KHL club Avangard signs former NHL goalie known for fighting his opponents
Today news has broken that a former NHL goalie that is known for not being afraid to drop the gloves has signed with a new team in the KHL for the 2024-25 season.
The NHL is one of the most difficult professional sports leagues to crack in the world. So it is no surprise that even guys who make it end up having to head to other leagues. Today this was the case for former Winnipeg Jet Mikhail Berdin who signed with Avangard Omsk in the KHL. This will be Mikhail Berdin's third season in the KHL after leaving the Winnipeg Jets when he originally signed with HK Sochi.
Do not mess with Avangard's new goalie Mikhail Berdin.

As you can see Mikhail Berdin is known for not being afraid to get physical with opponents. Last season while playing in the KHL he dropped the gloves with a skater. He is also known for puck-carrying and even scoring the occasional goal as well scoring both in the KHL and his days back in the USHL before being drafted.
With this signing, Avangard will be gaining both a good goaltender and an electric personality to their team. At just 26 years old if Mikhail Berdin can find success again in the KHL he could potentially earn his way back to the NHL in the future.
