Head coach of SKA St. Petersburg Romain Rotenberg after the match against Omsk Avangard he said that the team’s striker Evgeny Kuznetsov get back in shape after food poisoning.
On Monday, SKA lost to Avangard in the away match with a score of 1:2. The winning goal after the expulsion of Evgeniy Kuznetsov in the majority was scored by Matvey Zaseda.
— Sergei Plotnikov has already scored 12 goals in the league, but in November he still can’t score. For what?
— Hockey is a team game. We need teamwork. We can’t blame just one person. I wouldn’t specifically look for who is to blame.
Plotnikov strives to play the same way. But there is also the question of partners. Vanya Demidov, of course, tried. Evgeny Kuznetsov came out after an illness, and it is not so easy to compete against a strong opponent. But as the game progressed, he got there and will regain his condition. We can’t afford not to give him playing time somewhere.
We are moving forward and it is the responsibility of all our leaders to improve their performance. But a lot also depends on the partners. Sergei himself is an experienced player, he perfectly understands what he needs to improve. Everything will come through training, through work.
And life shows us the way, that we need to be more responsible about our scoring chances. We must improve this without flirting with our opponents, who must be treated with great respect.
When we were on a seven-game winning streak, we were number one in the league in sales. Well, now our guys definitely haven’t forgotten how to play hockey. You just have to score your goals, working on the details,” Rotenberg said, as quoted by a correspondent.
SKA suffers a fifth consecutive defeat and occupies 3rd place in the Western Conference with 32 points.
