Hockey forward “Spartak” Nikolai Goldobin told how he perceives Mikhail Maltsev’s transition into the team and Ilya Kovalchuk .
Previously, Spartak was joined by 40-year-old forward Kovalchuk, who returned to big hockey after two and a half seasons. On Thursday, the head coach of the “red and whites” Alexei Zhamnov announced an agreement on the transfer of 25-year-old center forward Maltsev. On July 1, 2023, he signed a contract with Los Angeles, but only played for the AHL farm club, scoring 14 points (4 goals, 10 assists) in 21 games for the Ontario Reign.
— Just during the match against Sochi (4:3), Mikhail Maltsev joined Spartak.
– Yes? I didn’t even know it. So ok. I know him, of course. But I haven’t seen him in action lately, so I won’t say how he plays. I won’t lie. But I think he’s a good striker, since we’re signing him.
— It will be difficult to move from America to the KHL.
— Of course, hockey is characterized by quick thinking, and everyone knows that. But if you have good partners, you can get used to any hockey from the first game.
— And Ilya Kovalchuk will also speak for you.
— Many even played the console for him. Legend. We are all looking forward to it. I know he is a great man in the locker room and no worse on the ice,” Goldobin told .
“Spartacus” at the time of the December break, he occupied first place in the Western Conference of the KHL, having scored 56 points in 41 matches.
