World hockey champion Maxime Sushinski told that the Yaroslavl team has a chance to reach the next round of the Gagarin Cup “Lokomotiv” much higher than their rivals CSKA .
On Wednesday, Lokomotiv defeated CSKA (2:1) in the fourth match of the first round of the Gagarin Cup. The railroad workers lead the series with a score of 3-1.
— Judging by today’s match, CSKA has no chance. Two periods were completely missed and in the third they showed nothing. I’m not sure they’ll have a chance in Yaroslavl. Lokomotiv’s performance is much higher than that of CSKA. I guess it’s the railway workers who don’t allow us to play,” Sushinsky told .
On March 8, the teams will hold the fifth meeting of the series on the ice of Yaroslavl. If Lokomotiv wins, they will advance to the quarterfinals of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs.
