Athletistic / Hockey. SKA St. Petersburg head coach Roman Rotenberg explained the reason for his players’ defeat in the KHL regular season away game against Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. On September 9, the railway workers beat the Neva Army team at home with a score of 2:0.
“We were disappointed by the minority, we played shamefully by playing with unequal compositions. We made a key mistake, it was the key moment of the match.
Pleshkov (Artemy, goalkeeper. – Note Athletistic) is the best player of SKA in the last matches. Every player in our team should follow his example.
“We, like Lokomotiv, are currently not playing with the optimal composition: Serebryakov, Pedan, Nikishin – our main player – Andronov, Glotov and Plotnikov are injured,” Rotenberg said in the Championship.
The main hero of the match was Lokomotiv goalkeeper Daniil Isaev, who stopped all 25 shots in his possession.
Lokomotiv have scored 6 points from three games and are in first place in the Western Conference. SKA are sixth in the West with 3 points after three games.
