Forward of Yaroslavl “Lokomotiv” Arthur Kayumov said that before the shootout in the FONBET KHL championship match with Ak Bars Kazan, he asked his teammate Alexander Radulov how the opposing goalkeeper Amir Miftakhov played.
Lokomotiv beat Ak Bars (3:2 B) in a road shootout. The author of the winning shot was Artur Kayumov; Radulov previously played for the Kazan club.
— What did Radulov say before the shooting?
– Nothing special. I just asked him how Miftakhov played. And so, nothing special. He told me how to drill. I added a little, but he suggested something.
— What are your thoughts on the game?
– Good game. Big game. Two equal opponents met. The nuances determined the outcome.
— You have already won seven matches. Pressure?
“We don’t look at where we are.” We just do our job game by game. It’s simple,” reports a correspondent, reporting Kayumov’s words.
Lokomotiv won its seventh consecutive victory; over the last 10 matches, Igor Nikitin’s team was 9 times stronger than its opponents. After scoring 40 points, Yaroslavl leads the Western Conference and the standings. Ak Bars is third in the East with 25 points.
