Before SKA Sergei Tolshinsky told how the St. Petersburg club managed to score two similar goals in a victorious match with CSKA .
The Fonbet KHL Championship meeting took place on Friday in Moscow and ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of the guests. The decisive goal was scored in the 44th minute by Mikhail Vorobiev. Goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov made his debut for SKA, stopping 34 shots. Tolchinsky scored the second goal of this match.
— You haven’t scored since September 2, but now you’ve scored your second goal of the season. How important is this to you personally?
“It’s always nice to end such an unpleasant streak.” Either way, you always feel pressure. Even if you try to distract yourself from it, don’t think. But you constantly start to worry. It annoys you. And it’s good that now the weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
— Would this puck appear in the top 10 of Sergei Tolchinsky’s most beautiful goals?
– Yes, there weren’t many. So, did this turn out to be a great goal?
— Why did you and Mikhail Vorobyov throw CSKA goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov into the “house”?
— To be honest, I’ve never scored like that in my life. I don’t even understand how I put it there. And then, for some reason, I decided to throw it to the goalie between the pads, without thinking at all. Well, Sparrow said that he already knew him and that he had beaten Fedotova like that for a long time.
– Does he have a weak point? Is it difficult for a tall goalkeeper to rank?
– Apparently, yes – I don’t know. But Vorobiev threw it there directly. And I just had this thought at the last second.
— SKA returned to the playoff zone. Will this big win help end the anomaly of being out of the Cup Eight for long enough?
– Of course, this will help and give confidence. Today was a great match. It is important to consolidate this by playing equally well not only against CSKA, but also against any opponent,” Tolchinsky was quoted as saying by correspondent.
After this victory, SKA returned to the playoff zone, occupying eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
This season, Sergei Tolchinsky scored 10 (2+8) points in 14 matches.
