On July 17, it became known about the transfer of Ozhiganov from SKA to Dynamo. Last season, the defender played 62 games for the St. Petersburg team in the KHL regular season, scoring 37 (11+26) points, as well as 15 playoff games, scoring 7 (2+5) points.
– Dynamo also signed a long-time friend of Nikita Gusev – Igor Ozhiganov. Was that his request?
– Nikita played with a lot of people and probably wanted one of his partners to be on the team with him. But the signing of Ozhiganov is above all the wish of the shareholders and the technical staff. Igor is one of the best defenders in the KHL, I don’t think anyone doubts that.
In addition, he is a right-handed hockey player who plays very well on the blue line. We understand the shortage of right-handed defensemen not only in our league, but in hockey in general. The fact that we managed to sign a contract with Ozhiganov is a very big success, – Sushko told .
