Defender “Metallurgist » Valery Orekhov believes that the Magnitogorsk club was unlucky in the last matches of the Fonbet KHL championship.
On Saturday, Metallurg lost to Omsk Avangard (0:3), this is Magnitogorsk’s third defeat in a row.
— It seems that in the last few matches we haven’t had a chance to finish. Is this so?
“It’s not that I’m unlucky, it’s just that somewhere, someone is in a hurry and looking for a better position.” We can’t get the puck to the right place to shoot. I think it will come, it happens that there is a series of failures, the main thing is that there are moments that will lead to other goals.
— Can we say that the team is not yet out of the shock cycle?
– Not really. I think everything is good in terms of speed, we are running well. Statistically we outperform our opponents, but something is missing somewhere. I think we’ll add more and get back into peak form.
— Sergei Mozyakin began flying with the team on trips. How does this help and how much does it add emotion?
— It’s difficult to say, he works with the strikers.
— Malkin recently said the NHL shouldn’t compete in the 2026 Olympics without the Russians. How do you find this initiative?
“I am a player of the Kazakhstan national team, so I will not make any comments,” Metaratings.ru quotes Orekhov.
Metallurg, after scoring 87 points in 64 matches, occupies second place in the Eastern Conference standings, behind Avangard (88).
