St. Petersburg striker S.K.A. Vasily Glotov called the reasons for the weak performance in the first game of the second round of the KHL playoffs with Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo “.
SKA beat Torpedo 2-1 in overtime on Thursday. The match took place in St. Petersburg.
– Missed the fans. We are very happy to play at home. It’s good that we won in extra time, it’s a good experience.
Few heads? Anything can happen, in the regular season, hockey was different. Now the series has just started, we watched each other closely, somewhere we played carefully, ” correspondent reports in the words of Glotov.
Another striker from the St. Petersburg team, Alexander Volkov, said that there is nothing surprising in the fact that during the playoffs teams pay more attention to defensive play.
– Difficult game. We were a little nervous, but it’s good that we won. Further will be better. The last match against Torpedo was also almost scoreless. No wonder, everyone plays strictly defensively.
We always have something to improve. The main thing is that we won. We are moving step by step and playing with more confidence,” Volkov said.
The second game of the series will take place on Saturday in Saint Petersburg. Watch the match live from 4:45 p.m. on and KHL PRIME channels, as well as matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
