Andrei Markov has signed on to play with Vityaz Chekhov in the KHL during the NHL's work stoppage. "I'm very pleased to be in this team and grateful for the opportunity to become a part of the team," said Markov. "I know a lot of the guys and it won't be hard work for me to move into the group." The Montreal defenseman is familiar with several management officials and some players from his days with Moscow Dynamo earlier in his career. He also played with Dynamo during the 2004-05 lockout. Markov could use the playing time after spending the vast majority of the past three seasons on the sidelines, but he's never that far away from another injury so keep an eye on him if you plan on taking a gamble on him in your fantasy league.
