The head coach SKA Romain Rotenberg said that the hockey players of the St. Petersburg team dominated the Fonbet KHL championship match against Metallurg, but they lacked freshness.
On Sunday, SKA lost in overtime against Metallurg (1:2) in the regular season home match.
— The match followed the previous scenario: we dominated, but we did not have enough freshness to convert our chances. We scored some good goals, one of which was canceled. Then we made a mistake by blocking the goalkeeper ourselves. Overtime takes place according to our scenario. There are no questions for the guys, everyone has completed the installation. Let’s practice implementation and come back strong.
— Will Andrei Pedan return soon?
– Yes, he’s already getting ready. He needs to get back into shape, he hasn’t played all season.
— What happened before the missed goal?
— Artem Sergeyev tripped. Alexander Nikishin went to investigate, but the goal was scored.
— Was there an infraction against Sergeev during overtime?
– This question must be asked of you. I have nothing to comment here. Life puts everything in its place, everything must be right. If it seems to you that there was a violation, you may be right, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Rotenberg’s words.
SKA is fourth in the Western Conference standings with 64 points.
