Target S.K.A. — reach the top at the start of the KHL playoffs, said the head coach of the Army team Romain Rotenberg .
On Tuesday, SKA lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the away match of the Fonbet KHL Championship regular season with the score of 2:3.
“This game was good preparation for the playoffs for us,” the correspondent said quoting Rotenberg. – We didn’t start as we wanted, we lost form after difficult home games. Another site also made adjustments to our usual tactics. We played the two previous games perfectly, but today there were mistakes. Only the third period was excellent, winning 2-0. We have a lot of injuries now, but hopefully by the playoffs everyone will be back in action.
– Why couldn’t they impose their game on Metallurg in the first period?
– We conceded such goals… Not systemically, but as a result of individual mistakes. Then they regrouped and continued to play according to their system. The opponent is also very strong, the Magnitogorsk goalkeeper played very well. Our goal is to reach the top by the start of the playoffs.
SKA takes first place in the KHL Championship with 93 points and has already secured a spot in the playoffs.
