=== 2017-18 season ===
On March 17th, 2017 [[Mike Keenan]] was named head coach of the Chinese club. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Mike Keenan hired by Chinese KHL team Kunlun Red Star - Sportsnet.ca |url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/mike-keenan-hired-chinese-khl-team-kunlun-red-star/ |access-date=2022-11-07 |website=www.sportsnet.ca}}</ref> The team played very well to start to season, with a record of 6-3-1 through the first ten games but then dropped to 10-8-2 through the next ten games.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=2017-18 Kunlun Red Star Results and Schedule at hockeydb.com |url=https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/team_results.php?tid=7599&sid=2018 |access-date=2022-11-07 |website=www.hockeydb.com}}</ref> Kunlun would then lose 17 out of 19 games until Keenan was relieved from his duties as head coach on December 3rd, 2017 before a game against [[Amur Khabarovsk]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=https://twitter.com/khl_eng/status/937297369632092161 |url=https://twitter.com/khl_eng/status/937297369632092161 |access-date=2022-11-07 |website=Twitter |language=en}}</ref> The team would rally and win that game 4-3 in overtime. <ref name=":0" />
 
Keenan would be replaced by assistant coach [[Bobby Carpenter (ice hockey)|Bobby Carpenter]], who was given the title of interim head coach.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-12-03 |title=Cup-winning coach Keenan fired by KHL team |url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/21653311/mike-keenan-fired-kunlun-red-star-kontinental-hockey-league |access-date=2022-11-07 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> The team played better under Carpenter than they had under Keenan as they finished 19-29-8.<ref name=":0" /> Carpenter finished with a record of 7-13-0 while Keenan had a record 12-16-8 record at the time of his dismissal as head coach. However, this improved play could not earn the team a spot in the KHL playoffs as Red Star would finish in last place in the [[Chernyshev Division]] and 23rd in the 27 team league that season. <ref>{{Cite web |title=2017-18 Kontinental Hockey League [KHL] standings at hockeydb.com |url=https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/khl20092018.html |access-date=2022-11-07 |website=www.hockeydb.com}}</ref>
