Kontinental Hockey League ( KHL ) is interested in holding matches with NHL teams, but the National Hockey League (NHL) do not have such plans, so talking about this is irrelevant now, KHL president  Alexey Morozov says in August 28 Match TV interview.

In the history of the KHL and NHL clubs, only three matches have taken place. The last of them was held in 2010 between SKA and the Carolina Hurricanes.

We ourselves came out with a proposal to hold matches with NHL clubs. This task was set by management.

NHL is interested in holding matches between their teams. We wanted our teams to play with NHL clubs. We would like Dynamo to play with Washington, for example.

We are interested in NHL clubs, where there are many Russian stars. But the NHL clubs have their own plans. Their championship begins late — in October. We postponed these conversations now.
