World Ice Hockey Champion, Coach german titov considered good for S.K.A. Transfer of the Swedish goalkeeper John Mattson .
The 31-year-old goalkeeper’s contract is designed for one season.
“Another successful transfer from Petersburg!” Last season, it was the goalkeeper problem that prevented SKA from reaching the Gagarin Cup final – the lack of an experienced first number was affected. In the series with CSKA, the Petersburgers played more solidly on the pitch, but the uncertain play of the goalkeepers nullified the efforts of the outfield players.
The Muscovites, on the other hand, were trailed by an experienced Reideborn. Mattsson, in my opinion, is no weaker than Adam – and such a goalkeeper can become a reliable base for SKA’s championship ambitions. Mattsson will definitely fit into the army team and add even more stability to the team. The goalkeeper, as they say, is half the team, and the army team now definitely has someone to rely on in important games,” Titov told the Championship.
Last season, Mattsson defended the colors of Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg, the Swede played 30 games in the KHL regular season with 91.9% of saved shots, as well as five games in the playoffs (95.4%). Earlier in the KHL, Mattsson played for Dynamo Riga.
