Head Coach Severstal Andrei Razin after defeating Metallurgist said the opponent in the third period was very surprised by his particular tactics.
On Tuesday, Severstal beat Metallurg in the Fonbet Championship home game KHL (4:1).
– The opponent is skillful, and the score is not in accordance with the game, – the correspondent reports Razin’s words. – There were enough chances on both sides, but our implementation was better, more selfless play. They caught a lot of pucks on themselves, cleaned their nickel if necessary. Thanks to the fans for the starry sky at the end of the game.
— The defenders scored twice today. Was this how it was planned?
– We focus on the fact that the defenders must hit the target, throw it. Pashka Denisov has already had effective actions this season. Marat Khabarov hits with a doublet – he scores in the second game in a row. He had plenty of moments before that, but no luck. I wish his streak never ends.
– In the third period, did you try to maintain the advantage of the victory?
– Magnitogorsk used a very peculiar tactic in the third period – two of their players were constantly “fishing” in our area. I have never seen such a thing. But the guys got away with it, only missed one in the minority. For us, every game is now like a playoff. So the atmosphere is good.
With the win, Severstal moved up to seventh in the KHL Western Conference standings, ahead of Spartak and Dynamo Minsk. Metallurg is fourth in the East.
