Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov believes that the head coach of Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo » Igor Larionov will prepare the team’s players for further performances in the NHL.
“Torpedo” ended its performance this season in the first round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs, losing in five matches to SKA Saint Petersburg.
— Departure of the torpedoes? He certainly lacked experience. The guys are pretty talented. (Nikolai) Kovalenko has already announced that he will leave the club. It doesn’t matter how others leave! There’s a lot of talent there. It looks like seven people from the youth team – the Seagulls played. Larionov therefore knows how to work. He will work for the NHL, develop the players and invest something in them, and they will leave. And unfortunately we can’t do anything about it,” Kozhevnikov said, as quoted by Championship.
