Saturday night, he remained in the thick of the NHL scoring race with the first five-goal game of his career in a 7-7 tie against the Los Angeles Kings.
"If you get the chances, you have to keep shooting," said Zhamnov, who took only six shots. "Tonight was my night. I was just thinking about winning the game, not how many goals I scored."
He leads Winnipeg with 22 goals and 48 points in 33 games.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
