Defender “Spartak » Yegor Savikov said the team was already preparing for the KHL playoff games, but noted that there could still be serious changes in the Western standings.
On Friday in Moscow, Spartak lost to SKA with a score of 2:5. This defeat was the fifth in a row for the “red-whites”.
— We had a lot of chances in the first two periods, but unlike our opponents, we didn’t convert them, that’s why the score was like that.
— Spartak fell to fourth place in the Western Conference and will likely play CSKA or Torpedo in the first round of the playoffs. How closely do you follow the evolution of the ranking?
— We have 17 matches left to change our place in the standings. Almost all of our remaining regular season opponents are in the top eight and will make the playoffs. These will be very serious matches; if we win them, we can gain or lose a few places.
We monitor the standings, but we don’t choose opponents, we just prepare for the playoffs,” Savikov told .
