Barys Astana is based in Astana, Kazakhstan and is the team who is currently in last place in the KHL right now with just three wins to start the season in 16 games so far, and things seem like it will get worse as Michael McLeod was the teams leading goal scorer with three goals and six points through 15 games for the team.
