Athletistic/Hockey. Thursday, April 18 begins the Gagarin Cup final series. Metallurg and Lokomotiv will fight for the trophy. Former defender of several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov shared his expectations from the series.

– I think Metallurg will be helped by a quick, fast attack and reliable goalkeeper play, as well as situational play. “Metallurg, having gained the advantage, can play defensively,” Shchitov said, as quoted by RB Sport.

Lokomotiv reached the Gagarin Cup final in 2009. Metallurg won the trophy in 2014 and 2016, and also reached the final in 2017 and 2022.
