Athletistic/Hockey. Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Pascal Vincent assessed the performance of the team’s Russian line in the match against the Ottawa Senators (4:2). Last night, during an NHL regular season game, three Russian forwards took the ice at the same time – Dmitry Voronkov, Kirill Marchenko and Egor Chinakhov.
“Before the third period, I went to Voronkov, Marchchenko and Chinakhov and told them that I didn’t like their play in the first two periods of the match. But I told them to stay alert because I wanted to give them more play. times in the third period, I said I trusted them.
These guys are able to create scoring chances, they can play power hockey and they know how to defend well. They always support each other. When the opponent replaced the goalie with a sixth skater at the end of the game, I put his line on the ice. I trust them a lot,” Vincent said as quoted by The Athletic.
In the match against Ottawa, Dmitry Voronkov scored a goal. Note that another Russian plays for Columbus – defender Ivan Provorov.
