Maltsev spent the current KHL season in Spartak on loan from NHL club Los Angeles Kings. The striker played 27 matches with the Red and White, during which he scored 14 (4+10) points. With Spartak, Maltsev reached the second round of the Gagarin Cup, where his team lost to Metallurg 2–4.
— You participated in the KHL playoffs for the second time in your career. How do you evaluate this period at Spartak?
— It was a shame to be eliminated from Metallurg. Over time, you realize that the opportunity to be part of a team that competes for the Cup doesn’t come around very often. But my career is shaping up in such a way that both here and in America – in the AHL and NHL – I played for strong teams that could win titles. But each time something was missing. So you think, “Well, probably next season.” » So it’s obviously a shame that it didn’t work again. Time is counted.
On the other hand, it’s still great to have played in the playoffs. Some people can’t do it at all. Therefore, I tried to be satisfied with what I had,” Maltsev told .
