Head coach SKA Romain Rotenberg asked not to look for scapegoats, answering the question about the defender’s usefulness indicator Nikita Zaitsev .
On Friday, SKA defeated Severstal (8:5) on their ice in the FONBET KHL championship match.
— Nikita Zaitsev is the worst defender in terms of utility. Could the arrival of Anthony DeAngelo improve his game?
— Hockey is a team game. We can always find scapegoats, but we won’t. We will improve every detail. In any case, when hockey players like Evgeny Kuznetsov and De Angelo play in the team, it has a positive effect on the whole team, developing young people like Ivan Demidov, Ivan Vydrenkov, Timur Kol. They are 18-19 years old. The same Grigory Kuzmin and the whole team as a whole, when they see such masters in training, it pushes the team as a whole forward.
— Artemy Pleshkov pushed Nikita Serebryakov out of the gate. What is the reserve in Pleshkov’s game? How does Nikita react to this?
— Competition is the engine of progress. Both goalkeepers played well today. We have two strong goalkeepers. “Hockey is a team game,” reports a correspondent, according to Rotenberg.
