Striker of HC “Sochi” Dmitri Zavgorodniy enjoyed the game with CSKA, remembered the unsuccessful season in the AHL and promised that he would try to continue scoring points in the KHL.
On Sunday, HC Sochi lost to CSKA in the away match of the KHL Championship Fonbet (2:5). The guests trailed the Muscovites 0:5, but in the third period they scored two comeback goals. One of them is on Zavgorodny’s account. In the second goal of the Sochi team, he scored an assist.
“It was a difficult game against CSKA, especially in the first two periods,” said Zavgorodniy. – In the third we exhaled a little, began to play more calmly. Probably because the responsibility for the result is no longer in a hurry.
– Your performance has jumped in the last matches. What is it related to?
— Yes, we managed to score today and the day before yesterday. The load immediately fell off my shoulders, it became psychologically easier. I will try not to lower my performance.
– How do you feel after your return to the KHL?
— I spent the pre-season with the team, so I’ve already gotten used to it. Now I drive slowly. I think I will add from game to game.
– Andrei Nazarov thinks that the trip to America did not benefit you. Do you agree?
“You could say it was a bad trip. But I tried not to lose heart because I didn’t play, I stayed positive, I trained, I worked. Now I’m getting back in shape.
Do you have a personal plan for this season?
I have not fixed precise figures. I just want to play well. For our team as a whole to perform well and qualify for the playoffs. Here is such a goal.
Zavgorodniy spent last season in the AHL, where he only appeared in one game. In the last two matches of HC Sochi, the striker scored 3 (2+1) points.
