Athletistic/Hockey. Head coach of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Igor Nikitin commented on the victory in the KHL regular season match against SKA.

“We won because of our character. There were times when we had a lot of shots. We played against a good team that has enough talent. Without that, such an opponent cannot be beaten. “It was a baptism of fire for But and Akmaldinov. They didn’t flinch,” Nikitin said after the match.
