Former Salavat Yulaev and Spartak defender Nikita Shchitov told that SKA will not be affected by the loss of an attacker Evgenia Kuznetsova abandoned due to injury.
On Saturday, SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg said that Kuznetsov would be out for about two months due to an injury sustained in the FONBET KHL championship match against Severstal Cherepovets (8:5).
— It’s a big loss, but SKA has enough top players. It is clear that they are counting on Kuznetsov, he passes on his invaluable experience, but this loss will not be particularly noticed. SKA has huge potential both in defense and attack, especially since they strengthened De Angelo,” Shchitov told .
SKA occupies second place in the Western Conference standings with 13 points. Kuznetsov scored one goal and provided four assists in nine regular season games.
