Vityaz forward Derek Barak hopes that the team will be able to fight for victory in the Gagarin Cup this season.
Vityaz is in ninth place in the Western Conference standings with 29 points.
— We have become stronger compared to last season. There were no serious failures, with the exception of the match against SKA (1:8). We really want to make the playoffs and compete for the main trophy. Of course, matches like the one against Spartak should not be overlooked. It’s good that this hasn’t happened in hit-and-run games. We have a whole “regular season” to correct certain shortcomings in our actions and move forward.
Matches with the “reds and whites” are always difficult, but you have to learn to overcome the difficulties. I think it will not be easy for us at home in Balashikha either. Two difficult matches in Moscow are behind us, but equally difficult matches await us in Balashikha,” Barak said, as quoted by Legalbet.
