Nizhny Novgorod attacker “Torpedo” Nikita Artamonov said he dedicated his winning puck to the goal CSKA parents who always support him.
On Thursday, Torpedo beat CSKA in overtime with a score of 4:3 in a KHL regular season match. Igor Larionov’s team lost the game with a score of 1:3. Artamonov scored the decisive goal in overtime.
— What were your thoughts a moment before the goal?
“The main thing was to get there, and the rest is not so important.”
— What did Igor Nikolayevich Larionov say during the break after the second period?
— He said 20 minutes was too much. We won because everyone believed in each other. 20 minutes in hockey is a really long time, so being down by two goals doesn’t mean anything.
— Can we say that the key moment of the meeting was your resistance to the five-on-three situation?
“I had a coach who said, ‘Whoever survives a three-on-five situation will win the game.’ It doesn’t always work, but today it worked.
— It is customary to dedicate winning goals to someone. Any ideas?
– Ideas? Parents, probably. They support me before every match, they always believe me. I am grateful to them for their support. I myself was a little shocked, because it is unusual for me to be the 13th striker. My parents told me that everything will be fine, prove it, they will see you. And that is what happened. When you are the 13th striker and you go on the ice, your muscles are cold, it is so hard, “the correspondent reports, reporting Artamonov’s words.
In the next match, Torpedo will meet Spartak on September 14.
