Goalkeeper of Moscow “Spartak” Dmitry Nikolaev believes that there is nothing surprising in the elimination of the finalists of the last season of the Moscow Gagarin Cup CSKA and Kazan “Ak Barsa” in the first round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs.
CSKA lost to Lokomotiv from Yaroslavl, Ak Bars lost to Avtomobilist from Yekaterinburg. Both series ended 4-1.
— There is nothing unexpected in the relegation of CSKA and Ak Bars. They played against two strong teams, there is nothing surprising about that. This is a standard situation. The teams that went further were simply stronger,” Nikolaev told RB Sport.
