Former Spartak hockey player Nikita Shchitov expressed the opinion that in the first round of the Gagarin Cup qualifiers it would be better if the Muscovites did not meet the Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo.
Spartak with 78 points is fourth in the Western Conference standings, Torpedo (71) is 5th.
— It is better that Spartak does not fall into the Nizhny Novgorod torpedo. The team also plays well in attack and scores, just like Spartak. In the playoffs, they will be in a special atmosphere. I think it will be problematic for the “reds and whites” to play against them. Probably the most obnoxious and dangerous team. Cherepovets “Spartak” will pass without any problems.
It will also be very difficult with CSKA. The military team’s cup experience will affect them in the playoffs. You should not neglect CSKA, it does not look clear in the regular season, but in the Gagarin Cup hockey players will show their great qualities,” Shchitov said, as quoted by Legalbet.
