Head Coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg explain why Nikolai Prokhorkin missed the game KHL against Moscow “Spartacus” and also said that the team graduate Svyatoslav Grebenshchikov worthy to play for the St. Petersburg club.
SKA beat Spartak 3:2 on Tuesday in the Fonbet home match of the KHL Championship.
– The game was from a knife. The guys played with a wink, everyone tried and completed the task of the game. We understood that the opponent is rushing to the playoffs, such games develop us. Let’s transfer the energy from this game to the next one. Now there is a possibility to recover. Many played in the minority, selflessly. We have a team character, it is very important.
Everything is going according to plan, the planned rotation. Prokhorkin is training, preparing for the next game. The main thing is not to overfeed him, like the rest of the players. Special thanks to the medical staff, who were able to restore Nikolai. He is fine.
Grebenshchikov played well, scored the winning goal. He made his debut for SKA nine years ago and has come a long way to come back. We have seen his brilliant play in other teams. He is a boy of character, he gives everything to the team. We are happy to have the opportunity to bring him back this season. He deserves to play for SKA,” Rotenberg told reporters.
SKA in the next match on January 13 will host Dynamo Moscow.
