Ufa Salavat Yulaev hockey player Joshua Livo sets KHL record

Ufa Salavat Yulaev hockey player Joshua Livo has set a KHL record. According to the league's press service, the 31-year-old forward has become the first player in KHL history to score four hat-tricks in a single regular championship. Previously, Vladimir Tarasenko, Nigel Dawes, Ilya Kovalchuk, and Dmitry Yashkin scored three hat-tricks.

The hockey player's achievements have been highly praised by many famous athletes. Two-time Gagarin Cup winner Alexei Potapov noted that it is very difficult for KHL defenders to play against the Canadian.

"You have to get to Livo every shift. It is tough in a regular championship. It is very difficult to defend against a Livo like that, who is on fire, who has no chances, but he scores. You can't do anything. Salavat Yulaev's Canadian legionnaire Joshua Livo should move to Avangard, CSKA or Ak Bars. CSKA is an ideal option for him. Kazan is very good", - said Alexey Potapov. The point of view of former hockey player Alexey Potapov was published by the press service of HC Salavat Yulaev.

Recall that Joshua Livo scored three goals in the match against Avangard (4:0). He also scored three goals against Amur (5:4 OT), Barys (6:0) and Neftekhimik (5:0).
