144th Overall – G Yevgeni Volokhin, Mamonty (MHL)
Goaltending appears to be high on the priority list for the Habs in this draft class as Volokhin is the third netminder they’ve now selected. He played in Russia’s junior level this past season, finishing ninth in the league in GAA. As was the case with Konyushkov, the Canadiens will hold his rights indefinitely.

Scouting Report
McKeens: A big, athletic netminder who was excellent in his rookie MHL year with Mamonty Yugry. Russia has been churning out quality netminders, seemingly out of nowhere, as of late and there is a great chance that Volokhin could be another one. His technique and approach need major refinement to find success at the higher level, but the athletic tools are pro quality.
