Former striker SKA Vasily Kamenev expressed the opinion that the St. Petersburg club is capable of becoming first in the Western Conference following the results of the regular season of the Fonbet KHL Championship.
After 36 matches, SKA is in fourth place with 46 points.
— Now the Army team is playing very well, but the KHL schedule is designed in such a way that it is difficult to predict the ups and downs of the teams. The next match of SKA takes place in Magnitogorsk, there is no airport there, difficult logistics, you have to go there by bus, and on Sunday afternoon there is a match with the leader of the Conference East. Well, why make a calendar like this? I understand, if SKA played in Moscow every other day: you could take the train and go there. But here, it’s a long, uninterrupted journey.
Of course, the battle will go one way or another between Metallurg and SKA: a status match, both teams have had long winning streaks. And based on their potential, I think the Army team is capable of winning the Western Conference this season. SKA coach Roman Rothenburg is a maximalist, like his colleagues, all players strive for victory, so everything is real. The gap with the leaders is not so big and SKA still has reserves,” Kamenev told RB Sport.
