Defender of Moscow “Spartak » Joey Keene after the defeat against Kazan Ak Bars in the KHL regular season match, he appreciated the contribution of forward Ilya Kovalchuk to the team game.
The meeting took place on Sunday in Kazan and ended with a victory for the hosts on penalties – 4:3. Kovalchuk scored a goal late in the third period.
— A hugely entertaining game, we led twice but then had to fight back. They took advantage of a break midway through the third period and scored with a good shot. But it didn’t break us, we did a great job and sent the game to overtime. It would be cool if the problem was resolved in overtime, when we were in the majority.
— How is Kovalchuk?
“He is an important part of the team and a great guy off the ice as well. It’s great that he scored,” Keane quotes Metaratings.ru.
Spartak is fourth in the Western Conference standings with 70 points.
