The rest of the time he spent in the junior team of Neftechimik, for which he scored 36 scorer points in 50 games in the multinational junior league Molodjoschnaja Chokkeinaja Liga , including six goals. The following season , the junior international began again in parallel in Neftechimik's professional team in the KHL and its junior team in the MHL, where he was significantly more often in the KHL squad than in the previous season.
