Attacker from Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo » Nikita Artamonov called Yaroslavsky “Locomotive “the most difficult opponent in the KHL, given the large number of fights in his game.
This summer, Artamonov was selected by Carolina with the 50th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
— It is impossible to play against Lokomotiv. I think even the fans fall asleep in the stands. You simply fight in one corner of the site, then the other. When we played them at home in the third period, they shot the puck from corner to corner four times, throwing it down the boards for about 30 seconds. I understand that each team has its own approach. I’m not criticizing anyone, Lokomotiv have only lost five or six games this season. But it’s very difficult to play against them. Igor Nikitin has been with the team for a long time and he has done a great job teaching his players to play this kind of hockey, – quotes Artamonov RG .
Lokomotiv leads the Western Conference standings with 52 points, Torpedo (35 points) is sixth.
