Defender S.K.A. Alexander Nikishin said the team’s regular season victory KHL is only one of the steps towards the success of the Gagarin Cup.
SKA won the Continental Cup for the third time in history, which is awarded to the best regular season team in the KHL. On February 16, the Petersburgers defeated Sibir (1:0) in the Fonbet home match of the KHL Championship. SKA has 99 points after this game.
Nikishin became the author of the only goal in the middle of the first period.
– I think the first period was more dynamic, the game was tense. Both teams calmed down in the second period. The third played from error to error. Here is the account.
The main thing is that we won. Winning the Continental Cup is a small step towards the main trophy.
It’s good when defenders score more than attackers. This is a brotherhood of defenders, – the correspondent reports the words of Nikishin.
