Two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov commented on the episode, after which Salavat Yulaev’s striker Gleb Kuzmin was injured in the KHL match against Avangard, noting that the Omsk defender Darren Dietz I didn’t want to hurt my opponent.
On Tuesday, after contact with Dietz, Kuzmin lost his balance and collided with his head at high speed. The hockey player was carried off the ice rink on a stretcher and hospitalized.
“There was no intentional rudeness on Dietz’s part. Kuzmin lost his balance at high speed and had no chance to escape. It was as if Gleb had broken his arm. The most important thing is that there was no rudeness on Dietz’s part. He simply pushed Kuzmin away with his hand, and Gleb was on one leg at that moment.
“I wish him good health and to avoid life-threatening injuries. It’s hard to see things like this. I wish Kuzmin a speedy recovery,” Konkov told RB Sport.
Kuzmin has scored one goal and provided one assist in five games this season.
