SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League announced today that Providence Bruins center Alexander Khokhlachev has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending Mar. 9, 2014.
Khokhlachev notched three goals and six assists for nine points in three games for the Bruins last week.
On Friday night, Khokhlachev scored a power-play goal, earned an assist and was named the game's second star in a 5-4 shootout loss to Worcester. On Saturday, he again had a goal and an assist in Providence's 4-2 defeat at Manchester. And on Sunday, Khokhlachev tied an AHL season high with five points, scoring once and recording four assists as the Bruins defeated Adirondack, 9-3.
