Omsk Avangard striker Arseniy Gritsyuk said he did not attribute the drop in performance to the so-called “Second Season Syndrome”.
Gritsyuk has scored 22 (7+15) KHL regular season points this season. The striker has scored more than half of his goals this season in his last six games. In the 2021/22 season, Gritsyuk scored 28 points in the regular season and another 10 in the playoffs.
– It’s very nice that they took me to the national team with such statistics. You have to show yourself. I don’t think it’s some kind of second season syndrome. I just relaxed somewhere, and the last games show that if you can show your hockey, the statistics will improve,” Grytsyuk told reporters.
Maybe the new arena is to blame?
– We just spoke with Tolchinsky about this. They thought that for the first time I scored only two points at home, everything else – on the road. But in the last series scored well. I hope that the “place of power”, as it is called, will also give me strength.
