New York Islanders prospect Daniil Prokhorov stole the show at the club's Blue & White scrimmage during development camp week. The second-round pick was clearly excited to be there and loved the fans.
While we await Prohorov's decision -- will he stay in Russia or come over to North America -- he did take part in an interview with MHL.KHL.ru.

Q: You have seriously increased your goal tally compared to your debut season. What helped you achieve this result?
A: "Constant work, the number of repetitions of which over time turns into quality. I have 20 goals in the regular season, four in the playoffs and six for the Russian national team at the Future Cups - 30 goals scored in 57 matches. I consider this a good result. In the 2024/2025 season, my playing time has increased, so I began to score more, shoot, hit and simply act usefully."
Q: You scored four goals in the playoffs and didn’t make a single assist. Did your teammates complain?
"People may write that I’m a bad passer and that I don’t have many assists, but they judge me based on statistics. If you watch the games themselves, they’ll see how many passes I made to empty nets or to the crease, but my teammates simply didn’t score. In the playoffs, you have to do everything to make the most of every chance you have, because there may not be another opportunity."
