Ex-Flyer goes to KHL for chance at Olympics

Former Philadelphia Flyers forward Roman Lyubimov has decided to return to Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League. CSKA Moscow announced Monday that Lyubimov signed a threeyear deal. Agent Dan Milstein said on Twitter that Lyubimov went home for a chance to play in the Winter Olympics. NHL players will not participate in the Olympics for the first time since 1994. Lyubimov is the first player to state that intention as a reason for leaving the league.
