Former Ufa defender “Salavat Yulaev” Nikita Shields I’m sure Ak Bars won’t lose more than two games against Admiral in the second round of the playoffs.
Admiral finished the regular season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, and in the first round of the playoffs they beat Salavat Yulaev (4-2 in the series) and will now face Eastern leader Ak Bars.
– Of course, “Admiral” – great comrades, since they passed Ufa. But I consider Ak Bars the favorite of this series. It is one of the most skilled teams in our league, led by experienced coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov. I think Ak Bars will pass this round. Yes, it will be difficult for them to fly, but they will manage. Maybe they will struggle in the next series. Probably, “Admiral” will hang one or two more home games. But I am inclined to believe that Kazan will go further, – RB Sport quotes Shchitov.
The first match of the series between Ak Bars and Admiral will take place on Thursday, March 16 in Kazan. Watch the live broadcast on the KHL channel starting at 7:15 p.m. (Moscow time), as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
