Russian youth team striker Daniel Lazutin after the match with “Ak Barsom” At the tournament Nikolai Puchkov said his goal added spirit and motivation to the team.
The hockey players of the Russian Olympic team (youth) beat Ak Bars (4:2) in the match of the pre-season tournament named after Nikolai Puchkov in St. Petersburg.
