Forward Omsk “Avant-garde” Arseniy Gritsyuk said he was able to correct his stats this season after recommendations from “New Jersey” .
In the KHL regular season, Gritsyuk scored 22 (7+15) points. The striker has scored more than half of his goals this season in the last six games. In 2019, the Russian was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 5th round of the NHL Draft below 129th overall.
Do you follow New Jersey?
– Sure. And not just for New Jersey, I’m in general. After all, the NHL is a league everyone is trying to get into. For example, I am also Columbus, where Chinakhov plays. For me, that’s a certain clue: he’s gone, and he’s successful. God forbid it continues to be the same. Yes, I take a closer look at New Jersey, they are having a very good season. Now a lot of young people are involved. If they gain momentum, get playing time, the result will come.
– Who do you want to play with – with Hughes or Hisher?
– Yes, I don’t care, any partner is valued there, just like here. Everyone has strengths. Everyone knows Hughes, he can always give back. Hisher somewhere takes more, throws, he’s a bit different central. Hughes needs the puck, he needs space, he loves playing with it, he loves finding passes. And Khisher can kill himself, stand in the corner, and cut himself on the patch: he’ll crawl through, drag him through. If you go there, you must be sure of yourself. Until I know my plans, I won’t think.
– Have you communicated with Brylin?
No, he didn’t come out to me. We communicate with the club, with one of the assistants. I was asked why it is not possible to score goals at the start of the season, they analyzed the game. Maybe that’s why it started to work, because I listened to the advice.
– What were the recommendations?
– He wrote to me, dismissed the statistics of last season. He said he spent a lot of time on the penny, scored a lot of goals from there. I was recommended to further refine the game from the penny, from the center. And I threw corners a lot, because of that it didn’t work out. I started looking for space in the middle and started scoring more often, Gritsyuk told reporters.
