Recall that Kuznetsov signed a contract with the St. Petersburg club during the summer off-season.
Kuznetsov spoke about his impressions of the SKA team
“Our team captain is Alexander Nikishin. Unfortunately, he is injured now. We had a training session with him this morning, he is in good shape.
We also have Vasya Glotov, who also does a great job and can be a captain. He helps Kuznetsov fulfill that function.
“Zhenya deserves to be the captain of SKA, he unites the team. We are working to make Zhenya the best player in the world again,” Rotenberg quotes Match TV as saying.
