Alexander Khokhlachev: Remains on Boston's reserve list
Alexander Khokhlachev remains on the Bruins' reserve list, Mark Divver of The Providence Journal reports.The 2011 second-rounder never really had a chance to showcase his skills at the NHL level with the Claude Julien-coached Bruins nd has been playing in the KHL the last two seasons. That said, the 24-year-old thrived for AHL Providence under the direction of current Boston coach Bruce Cassidy, so it's not out of the question that Khokhlachev might re-visit his status with the Bruins once his deal with Spartak is up. Khokhlachev is coming off a strong campaign in which he logged 19 goals and 50 points with Spartak, good for sixth overall in KHL regular-season scoring. The Bruins organization has solid depth up front, but the 5-foot-10, 181-pounder definitely has the skills to make a run at a job with the team should he elect to take another shot at the NHL.

Alexander Khokhlachev: Poised to return to Russia
Alexander Khokhlachev is reportedly expected to sign a KHL contract with SKA St. Petersburg, CSN New England reports.The anticipated deal would become official after Khokhlachev's contract with the Bruins runs out on June 30, but the move comes as no surprise given the 22-year-old forward's frustration with how he was handled by the Boston organization. Khokhlachev recorded 68 points in 60 games with AHL Providence this past season, but failed to make much of a splash in limited opportunities with the big club. In nine game for the B's over the past three seasons, Khokhlachev did not record a point.

Bruins' Alexander Khokhlachev: Future with B's uncertain?
Alexander Khokhlachev's agent hasn't ruled out the possibility that his client could return to Russia after this season, CSN New England reports.Khokhlachev, whose entry-level contract with Boston is set to expire after the current campaign, has at times been frustrated with the way the Boston Bruins have handled him. The 22-year-old forward has certainly produced at the AHL level, having recorded 66 points in 57 games with Providence this season, but to date, he hasn't made a splash in limited duty with the big club (zero points in nine NHL contests). With Khokhlachev slated to become a restricted free agent this offseason, we suspect that he'll weigh all his options, but a potential return to the B's might hinge on a possible coaching change, given the report's suggestion that Khokhlachev isn't pleased by the lack of opportunities presented to him by (current bench boss) Claude Julien.

Through 42 AHL contests to date, Khokhlachev is second in scoring for Providence, with a total of 47 points.

Bruins' Alexander Khokhlachev: Assigned to AHL Providence
Alexander Khokhlachev was reassigned to AHL Providence on Saturday.Khokhlachev suited up for one game during his most-recent stay with the big club, logging just 6:01 of ice time in Friday's NHL Winter Classic against Montreal. His demotion could signal that Joonas Kemppainen, who was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 8 with an upper-body injury, is nearing a return to action. Khokhlachev has tallied an impressive 25 points in 22 games with the Baby Boston Bruins this season, and will likely get another opportunity with the parent club in the near future.
