Attack “Ak Barsa” Maxim Bykov remembered an incident as a bonding partner Danis Zaripov gave him the puck with which the young forward scored his first career goal in the KHL.
Bykov scored his first goal against Sibir on November 21, 2022 on a pass from Zaripov. This match was his second in the league.
— You scored your first goal in the KHL following in the footsteps of Burmistrov and Zaripov. Happiness?
– Yes… The goal, in principle, turned out to be legendary, because Danis broke Ak Bars’ record for assists. And for me, that was the first objective! Danis then joked that he should take that puck with him, it was more important to him (laughs).
But after that game, he personally handed me the puck and told me to continue in the same spirit. Of course, it was nice to score on a pass from such a talented and legendary hockey player, famous not only in Tatarstan, but throughout Russia,” Bykov said in Metaratings.ru.
