CEO “Neftekhimika” Igor Larionov told that the club is considering backing the defender Tampa Bay Lightning Mikhail Sergachev during the home match of the Fonbet KHL Championship against Novosibirsk Sibir.
On Wednesday, Tampa lost to the Rangers (1:3) in an NHL regular season match. In the second period, Sergachev tried to forcefully hit Canadian Lafrenière on the boards, but unsuccessfully fell on his left leg. Sergachev left the ice on a stretcher and underwent surgery Thursday for fractures to the tibia and fibula in his left leg. Before the match against Rangers, the Russian had not played since mid-December due to a leg injury.
— Sergachev is seriously injured, is the club planning to support Mikhail in one way or another?
— We plan to support Mikhail in the match against Siberia. The club will make a call on the media cube. We support Mikhail. Always in contact with our student. We are worried about Sergachev and wish him a speedy recovery, Mikhail does a lot for Nizhnekamsk hockey,” Larionov told .
The match “Neftekhimik” – “Sibir” will take place on February 9 and will start at 19:00 (Moscow time).
