Head Coach”Salavat Yulaeva » Viktor Kozlov says team captain Grigori Panin broken nose after collision with Ak Bars striker Alexander Radulov during Fonbet KHL Championship match.
The match took place on Saturday in Kazan and ended 3-2 in favor of the Ufa club.
– It was an important match for us, a principled rival. It was a playoff game. For a lot of guys on our team, this is probably the first game of such intensity. Tense game, difficult for us. Ak Bars played well, pressed to the end, didn’t give up. And a big thank you to the fans who came to support us. They were heard every 60 minutes.
– How is the condition of Grigory Panin, who rolled sideways after joining with Alexander Radulov?
Gregory’s nose is broken. There doesn’t seem to be a concussion. But let’s see what will happen tomorrow. As long as he smiles.
– In the third period, did you play on hold?
– Well, what did you think? Yes, we played to the score. You cannot open with Ak Bars. There are good attackers who can punish instantly. What happened when we played with them at home. We acted too openly and they took advantage of this moment. In my opinion, it is impossible to openly play against Ak Bars,” Kozlov told reporters.
