Head Coach SKA Romain Rotenberg expressed hope that victory at the Nikolai Puchkov tournament in St. Petersburg will help the team win the Gagarin Cup this season.
On Thursday, SKA was defeated by the Russian youth team (3:4 B). In regular time, the match ended with a score of 3:3; in the penalty shootout, Nikolai Voevodin’s team was stronger. However, Roman Rotenberg’s team scored seven points in four games, which allowed SKA to win the overall standings of the tournament.
— An important victory, we won the Puchkov tournament for the third time in a row. This is such a baby, we will do everything possible to make this small cup become a big one in the spring. It is not a shame to lose to the Russian team, this is a strong team. 10 of our people played there. This suggests that our system of preparation for the season is correct.
The Russian team had two more days to recover. Today we were inferior in movement to the bold young guys.
Ivan Demidov has earned a place in the lineup. In the first match, SKA will definitely play for the main team against Magnitogorsk. “We are pleased with how the team is approaching the common denominator of the season,” a correspondent reports, citing Rotenberg’s words.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
