Ilya Kovalchuk's return to the KHL after the former Devil "retired" from the NHL has hit a snag. And it's all due to the presence to another ex-Devil who happens to be his current teammate.

In the video above, Kovalchuk rushed up ice with the puck and stopped at the blue line, where Alexei Ponikarovsky happened to be waiting. After the two collided, the result could be bad news for SKA St. Petersberg: according to KHL producer Andrey Osadchenko, Kovalchuk "may miss four weeks of action due to a shoulder injury" from the hit. We're wondering what Devils fans think while they're watching this one.
