Lokomotiv Yaroslavl player Alexander Yelesin set a new Continental Hockey League record for the fastest puck.
On Sunday, December 10, in a match with Ufa Salavat Yulaev, the 21-year-old defender scored in the fifth second of the meeting. After the throw-in, won by Andrey Loktionov, Yelesin shot on goal from the middle of the court, and goalkeeper Scrivens did not have time to react to the throw.

It is noteworthy that the record puck was the first on account of Alexander Elesin in the KHL.
As a result of the meeting, Lokomotiv lost to Salavat Yulaev with a score of 2:3.
