Former coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Plyushchev said that the headquarters of SKA St. Petersburg had to draw conclusions after the team’s four consecutive defeats at the FONBET KHL Championship.
On Thursday, SKA lost to Sochi in the home match of the KHL regular season with a score of 2:5. This is the fourth consecutive defeat for the St. Petersburg team.
— The loss of a player of such level as Kuznetsov obviously affects the team. But SKA managed to cope with all the opponents it lost to, with and without Kuznetsov. So there are more serious problems there.
— Isn’t a series of four defeats, given the length of the calendar and the number of matches, still a reason to launch an SOS?
“I think it’s a reason to think, and a serious reason.” And the SKA coaching team will take care of it. So there is no disaster or fire. Moreover, the SKA team and bench are good. There is a lot to do there. I think the four losses surprised Army coaches as well; Before that, everything was going according to plan. But SKA will find a way to end this situation, Plyushchev told RB Sport.
After 25 matches, SKA has scored 32 points and ranks third in the Western Conference standings. In the next round, the army team will face Omsk Avangard on November 11.
