Head Coach Kunlun Red Star Mikhail Kravets said he was interested in the tactic of replacing the goaltender with a fourth outfield player in overtime before the introduction of the new KHL rule.
Starting in the 2024/25 season, a team that replaces its goaltender with an extra skater in overtime and allows the puck to go into its own net does not receive points for the game. The exception to this rule is when the goaltender has been replaced by an extra skater under the delayed penalty rule.
– Of course, it was interesting to change the goalkeeper. Especially when there is a group of good performers. Now it is difficult to do, no one wants to lose points. For better or for worse … we will have to see how it works. “Three on three” is also an interesting hockey game. Who knows, maybe somewhere 20 seconds before the siren we will take a chance and replace the goalkeeper with someone else. My opinion is that the goalkeeper change was interesting. You can also make it so that the player can exchange with the goalkeeper during the change – back and forth, – a correspondent reports Kravets’ words.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
