Former Russian national hockey player Evgeny Artyukhin believes that Yaroslavl Lokomotiv forward Alexandra Radoulova and the team’s head coach Igor Nikita should form a good tandem.
Radulov signed a one-year contract with the Yaroslavl club during the offseason.
— Experts believe that Nikitin will have to contain Radulov’s emotions. Do you agree?
— Sasha has already said that he and Nikitin work together and know each other. I am sure that there was a telephone conversation before signing the contract. Radulov is not a little boy, he is already an adult and experienced man. He will be able to manage his emotions and find a common language with the head coach. It is in his interest. I do not think that there will be any problems. Knowing Nikitin, I can say that he is a good psychologist and will be able to reach Alexander. They should have a good tandem, RB Sport quotes Artyukhin.
Last season, Radulov played 62 games for Ak Bars Kazan in the KHL regular season and playoffs, scoring 44 points (17 goals and 27 assists). He has previously played in Russia for CSKA and Salavat Yulaev Ufa, and has also played in the NHL for Nashville, Montreal and Dallas. As a member of the national team, he became a two-time world champion.
