Nikolai Zherdev's return to the National Hockey League was a short one, as Russian sports website Sport Express reports that the winger has signed a contract with Atlant Mytishchi of the KHL.

Zherdev, 26, played with Atlant during the 2009-10 season after the New York Rangers walked away from his arbitration award. The Philadelphia Flyers signed him to a one-year contract last summer.

Zherdev had 16 goals and 22 points in 56 games last season and was placed on waivers during the campaign.

He played six seasons in the NHL, four with the Columbus Blue Jackets, one with the Flyers and one with the Rangers.

Originally taken fourth overall by Columbus in the 2003 draft, Zherdev has 115 goals and 146 assists in 421 career NHL games.

This is good news for the KHL though.
