Former Sochi defender Nikita Shchitov believes that Kazan “AK bars ” will take fourth place in the Eastern Conference following the results of the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Ak Bars, having scored 72 points in 59 matches, is in fifth place in the East standings. On Monday, Kazan lost at home to Sibir Novosibirsk with a score of 1:4.
— It is difficult to say how events will develop in the fight for the top four in the East. I recently watched Traktor’s game with Ak Bars. The Chelyabinsk team plays well, they act well. If they start converting their chances better, they will be able to progress higher. Ak Bars will most likely play in the playoffs with Traktor. “Lada”, I think, will remain in seventh place.
Kazan, I think, will overtake Avtomobilist and take fourth place. The team got along well. Their leaders are playing well and the defense looks superb. Therefore, I think that together with Traktor it will overtake Avtomobilist. Ak Bars will become fourth in the East, Traktor will be fifth, Avtomobilist will fall to sixth place and Lada will remain seventh. I think the situation will be like this,” Shchitov quotes RB Sport.
