SOCHI, Russia — Forward Alexander Radulov fractured his relationship with the Nashville Predators when he was in the NHL and now he has at least temporarily fallen out of favour with Russian coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov.

“Yes, he needs to be scratched among other things,” Bilyaletdinov said through a Olympics-supplied translator.
