Former defenseman for several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov shared his thoughts on the performance Kunlun Red Star at the start of the new season of the Fonbet KHL Championship.
Victor Ignatiev’s team is in fifth place in the Western Conference standings, gaining 10 points in 9 matches.
— Kunlun is off to a good start. Yes, there were several defeats, but in Khabarovsk the “dragons” showed that they are a good team that is in no way inferior to their rivals. Almost everyone has the same level of skill now, and “Kunlun” demonstrates that. So far everything is going well, let’s see what happens next.
Apparently, Smith is a guard with good potential. He took his rhythm, found his team, adapted to the championship and showed professionalism. Hence the result at this point. Of course, any goalie who performs well, like it or not, will attract the attention of general managers who are looking for ways to strengthen their teams before the start of the playoffs,” Shchitov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
