Head Coach Severstal Andrey Razin compared the young striker to his team Nikita Rozhkov who scored twice in a winning match with CSKA (4:1), with the NHL point guard Alexander Ovechkin .
22-year-old Rozhkov at the end of the game twice hit the empty army gates with throws from his area.
“We played with a qualified team, so I’m very happy with the result,” a correspondent quoted Razin as saying. — And we played well, and converted our chances, held in defense. We played against CSKA with one fist.
– Rozhkov often practices penalty kicks from his area? Today he scored two goals in the void.
– No, Rozhkov is still far from Ovechkin. He doesn’t take a lot of shots. Nikita scored his first KHL goal on our team, playing in both the majority and the minority. Once we have confidence, it means that he justifies the confidence.
— Goalkeeper Samonov played a great game against CSKA. Did you get used to composing?
I understand how difficult it was psychologically for him. The guy was walking up the stairs and suddenly found himself in the underdog, who is fighting to get into the playoffs. It’s a very difficult situation for a player, I know that from my own experience. Does it take time to understand what happened? There is also constant talk of clubs with big tasks who want to get it. But today Sasha got into the mood, he had already played successfully against CSKA, so we planned to put him against the army team. I would like him to spend the rest of the season at this level.
Severstal continues to fight to make the playoffs. The team moved to eighth place in the KHL Western Conference standings with 58 points.
