MUSKEGON, Mich. - The Muskegon Lumberjacks have announced the addition of goaltender Platon Zadorozhnyy from Khimik Voskresensk in the VHL.

Zadorozhnyy, the 6-foot-1, 184-pound netminder appeared in 22 games with MHK Spartak Moskva during the 2020-21 regular season with a record of 13-7-1, putting up a 2.40 GAA and a .920 save percentage with three shutouts.
