A Western Conference playoff spot remains an uphill climb for the Windsor Spitfires, but imagine what it would be like without Alex Khokhlachev.

The 19-year-old Khokhlachev has been with the team less than a month, but has piled up the points since returning from the Kontinental Hockey League to join the Spitfires, who face the Sarnia Sting tonight at the WFCU Centre (7 p.m., Sportsnet, live chat at windsorstar.com).

“I’ve said it for a while now that I don’t know if we would be in the situation we are in if we had Koko from day one,” Spitfires head coach Bob Boughner said.

In 15 games with the Spitfires, Khokhlachev has scored 13 times and has 25 points. That pushes his career total in parts of three seasons in Windsor to 72 goals and 170 points in 138 games.

“He’s a catalyst for our offence, the power play and our four-on-four play,” Boughner said.

With 170 points, Khokhlachev has joined some elite company. He’s now tied with former Sting star Nail Yakupov for fifth on the all-time Russian scoring list of players to perform in the Canadian Hockey League.
