    Flyers team consultant Oleg Znarok helped guide NHL and Detroit Red Wings legend Pavel Datsyuk to victory in his farewell match in Yekaterinburg Saturday.

    Znarok, 62, coached alongside Alexander Yakushev and Vladimir Krikunov, and other players on Datsyuk's team include legendary forwards Alex Ovechkin, Sergei Fedorov, Valeri Kamensky, and Ilya Kovalchuk, according to Championat.

    Datsyuk was Znarok's captain when the Flyers staffer coached the Olympic Athletes of Russia in 2018.
