CSKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov after the victory over Vityaz in the Moscow Mayor Hockey Cup said that the team focused on working in overtime with a goalkeeper in goal, despite the new KHL rules.
On Thursday, in the first match of the Moscow Mayor’s Cup, CSKA beat Vityaz – 3:2 B.
— We played some games as we should, but some moments didn’t work out. There were enough chances to score, but we haven’t scored yet, we’re still getting used to it.
— Why do you only play five games in the off-season?
— We worked in Minsk, there are new people in the team, they have to play together.
— In overtime, CSKA had a power play. Would the goalie have been sent off if the KHL had not changed the rules?
“What can we say about it now… On the contrary, we played extra time without taking the goalkeeper off,” the correspondent reported, citing Vorobyov’s words.
Previously, the KHL had changed the rule for awarding points in overtime when a goalie is replaced by a skater. If a team replaces the goalie with an extra skater in overtime and misses the puck, then it receives no points at the end of the game, and not one, as was the case in previous seasons.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
