He finished tied for third in the KHL playoffs with 16 points (4 goals, 12 assists) in 20 contests, helping Moscow reach the Gagarin Cup finals.

He scored nine goals on the powerplay and six winning goals, with a +29 differential and 74 penalty minutes. In eight seasons with Ufa and Moscow (KHL), Radulov collected 492 points (169 goals, 323 assists) in 391 games. He won the Gagarin Cup in 2011 with Ufa.
