Yet another New Jersey Devil appears to be heading to Russia to play in the KHL. This time it's defenseman Anton Volchenkov.

Volchenkov is taking his talents to Russia to sign with CSKA Moscow, according to David Pagnotta of TheFourthPeriod. There he will join the likes of fellow Russian NHLers Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Bryzgalov.

As with all of these contracts, Volchenkov will have an out-clause so he can return to the NHL if and when a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.

Volchenkov joins Ilya Kovalchuk and Marek Zidlicky as the only Devils players to sign overseas thus far. That said, the list is expected to grow as the lockout drags on.
