Zholtok brings Latvian pride to Montreal (Euroreport.com) by Lucas Aykroyd | Senior Editor - 5 October, 2000 Ten years ago, you couldn't have imagined a Latvian forward keying the offense of the Montreal Canadiens. But times have changed, and Sergei Zholtok is taking full advantage. The Riga-born center enjoyed a breakthrough season with Montreal last year, racking up 26 goals and 12 assists in 68 games. That was good for third place in team scoring behind Martin Rucinsky and Dainius Zubrus. Zholtok struggled to make an impact earlier in his NHL career, as he only picked up four points in 25 games with Boston after being drafted 55th overall in 1992 by the Bruins. But after paying his dues in the minors, the 6-1, 191-pound forward returned to the big show with the Ottawa Senators in 1996-97. Montreal signed him as a free agent in 1998, and the 27-year-old now appears to have recaptured the form that helped him to silver and gold medals respectively with the 1991 and 1992 USSR World Junior Championship squads. Lucas Aykroyd caught up with Zholtok after he assisted on two goals in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks at GM Place on 28 September.
