Those are the familiar names that hockey fans are expecting to put on a show at the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.

It might be time to add Evgeny Dadonov to that list following this incredible goal scored for SKA St. Petersburgh in KHL action Saturday.

Dadonov was a third round pick of the Florida Panthers in 2007, but appeared in only 55 games, notching 10 goals and 10 assists before heading back to Russia.

The 27-year-old scored 23 goals last season, and is set to remind NHL clubs what they're missing when he suits up for Russia at the best-on-best tournament.
