Double Olympic hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov noted the work Igor Nikitin as head coach of Yaroslavl “Lokomotiv” .
On Wednesday, Lokomotiv defeated SKA in the regular season match of the FONBET KHL Championship. The meeting in St. Petersburg ended in a victory for the guests with a score of 3:2.
— The team is playing well and consistently, even though it’s only the start of the season. Surprisingly, last year’s final didn’t go the way we would have liked. But the team follows its principles: it plays in a disciplined manner, well done.
I like Nikitin’s work. He is a systematic and solid coach; the team coach’s hand is visible. The guys understand what to do on the pitch,” Fetisov told .
Lokomotiv won its sixth consecutive victory and leads the Western Conference and the entire league with 38 points. In the next match, the Yaroslavl team will meet Ak Bars Kazan on November 1.
