Magnitogorsk head coach “Metallurgist” Ilya Vorobiev says the Canadian goalkeeper Edouard Pasquale came to the team for the role of the first goalkeeper, as a Russian Vasily Koshechkin can no longer participate in a large number of matches due to his age.
Koshechkin is 39 years old. In the current Fonbet KHL Championship regular season, the goaltender has played 19 games, scored eight wins with 91.5% shots saved. Pasquale signed a contract with the Magnitogorsk team until the end of the season.
– Pasquale took on the role of the first goalkeeper, Koshechkin is already a grown man in terms of hockey, last year before the departure of the Finn (Juho Olkinuora – ed.), Vasya also played less. Koshechkin is giving what he can, but now he can’t play 80% of the games. Eddie is the first goalkeeper, we are happy with his actions. At the moment he sank, there was a slight injury, but tomorrow he will play again, “Vorobyev said on the air of the program” Everything for the match! on MatchTV.
Metallurg is fourth in the Eastern Conference standings with 69 points.
