NYI Fan Central Comments:
From what little I have read on team Russia Petrov is working his way back from an injury (I think it's a shoulder) and is just being spotted when Sergei Nemchinov shortens his bench in games. I did not see a single game boxscore where he played for Ak Bars before this tournament.

That means he went into the WJC with just four games before his injury.
