Athletistic/Hockey. Recently, Olympic champion Ilya Kovalchuk returned to Spartak. In the first match against Kunlun, he played in a trio with Andrey Loktionov and Maxim Tsyplakov. Red and White coach Alexey Kovalev answered the question about this. He said Kovalchuk would try other combinations.
– Ilyukha himself understood perfectly well that in the first match he would not be able to show the game that he demonstrated before. So we tried this combination. But there is still a lot of work to do. We will also try at other levels,” Kovalev said, as quoted by Match TV.
Spartak leads the KHL Western Conference standings with 62 points.
