Radulov inked a two-year contract with KHL team AK Bars on Thursday, per KHL.com.
Radulov was previously expected to return to the KHL, so this news shouldn't come as a surprise. At this point, this likely marks the end of the 36-year-old winger's NHL career which would see him eventually retire having logged 524 games for the Predators, Canadiens and Stars. In those outings, Radulov managed 144 goals and 224 assists, including 104 power-play points.

Stars' Alexander Radulov: Suiting up Thursday
Rotowire
Radulov (illness) will be back in the lineup versus Minnesota on Thursday, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
With Radulov fully fit, he is poised to step back into a fourth-line role as he tries to break out of a nine-game goal drought. Without a clear path to a bigger role, the veteran winger will likely offer no more than modest fantasy value in the final few weeks of the season.

Stars' Alexander Radulov: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Radulov will not be available against the Lightning on Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.
Radulov is pointless in his last eight contests and has just one goal in his last 18 matches, so few fantasy players are likely to be impacted by his absence from the lineup. Barring a huge offensive output to end the year, Radulov is poised to finish the year with the lowest point-per-game total (0.32) of his NHL career.

Stars' Alexander Radulov: Logs assist Sunday
Rotowire
Radulov notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
Radulov made a good play on the puck to get it to Tyler Seguin, who then set up Michael Raffl's second goal of the game. The assist snapped a six-game point drought for Radulov, who has seen his ice time slashed to a true bottom-six role in February. The winger has just 17 points with 67 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 46 contests this season. While he still sees time on the second power-play unit, his offense isn't where it needs to be to earn him widespread appeal in fantasy.

Stars' Alexander Radulov: Garners helper in limited action
Rotowire
Radulov produced an assist and four blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
Radulov missed time in January while in COVID-19 protocols, and his fantasy appeal has been further diminished by a third-line assignment. Remember, this is a player who averaged better than a point per game with the Stars in 2018-19, but the 35-year-old Radulov has lost his top-six assignment to countryman Denis Gurianov while averaging a mere 11:47 of ice time over the last five contests.

Stars' Alexander Radulov: Ends goal drought Sunday
Rotowire
Radulov scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Bruins.
Radulov had gone over three months without a tally, as he last scored Oct. 27 versus the Golden Knights. In that 28-game span, the winger racked up a decent 12 assists and 42 shots on net. The 35-year-old has 15 points, 57 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating in 36 games. He's shooting 3.5 percent -- that's significantly lower than his 13.1 rate in his career, but playing in a bottom-six role won't help his scoring numbers.

Radulov snapped a five-game point drought with the helper on Jacob Peterson's game-winning tally. The 35-year-old Radulov also missed five games due to the COVID-19 protocols during his cold stretch. The Russian winger has just 13 points, 54 shots on net and a minus-11 rating in 33 contests this season, though his 1.9 shooting percentage has likely played a role in his struggles. Until he can be more consistent on offense, he'll likely remain on the third line.

Stars' Alexander Radulov: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Radulov (not injury related) will be a game-time decision against Detroit on Friday after clearing the league's COVID-19 protocols, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Radulov was back on the ice for the game-day skate but may not have his conditioning ready to play after a five-game stint on the sidelined. Even if the 35-year-old winger is unable to play Friday, he should be in the mix for Monday's matchup with the Flyers. Whenever he does get back on the ice, Radulov figures to jump back into a top-six role despite his 24-game goal drought.
