Attack “Spartacus” Ansel Galimov said that the team’s hockey players greeted the transfer of Ilya Kovalchuk with great respect.
Kovalchuk signed a contract with Spartak in December 2023. The Olympic champion returned to the ice after a two-year break. As part of the “red and white” Kovalchuk played 25 matches in the regular season and KHL playoffs, scored four goals and gave four assists.
– Did the arrival of Kovalchuk have a big impact on the team?
“We all accepted Ilya Valerievich with great respect, he became a member of the team,” Metaratings.ru quotes.
Spartak in the first round of the Gagarin Cup defeated Severstal Cherepovets (4-1), then lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk (2-4).
