Offensive Lokomotiv Stepan Nikulin in a conversation with a correspondent, he told how the Yaroslavl team managed to snatch victory from “Dynamo” in Fonbet’s away game of the KHL Championship (4:2), but at the same time he noted that there was more fighting in the game than good combinations.
Nikulin tossed the second puck into the gates for the Muscovites and brought Yaroslavl in front.
“After the first period, we put our thoughts together and started playing our hockey,” Nikulin said. – Stopped letting the opponent do what he wants. We did what we wanted. That’s why they broke it.
– What can you say specifically about your goal, which became part of the hit in the second half.
– The most important thing is that we won the next fight, it all started with that. We left the puck in the zone, then there was a successful shot. I didn’t even have to do anything, the puck hit me and flew towards the goal.
– That is, they began to win the fight in the Dynamo zone, and therefore there were immediately more dangerous moments at the gates of the Muscovites?
– Across the territory began to win the fight. But it is better, of course, to do it in a foreign area. For example, before our third puck, we also locked the Dynamo in the zone for a long time. For this reason, the goal was formed.
Lokomotiv’s winning streak has already reached five matches. Although each of them was given with great difficulty. Do you agree?
– Such wins cost more when you take it out in an even fight, which means you’re better, which means you wanted it more. I didn’t like playing against Dynamo today. Lots of wrestling, then shots from the blue line, throwing the puck into the middle zone. No hockey game, frankly.
Lokomotiv won the fifth consecutive victory in the last matches. The team is in 2nd place in the Western Conference standings with 29 points.
