Khabarovsk Amur continued their winning streak by beating Avangard at home

The Khabarovsk team failed to keep the winning score, but more precisely, they were in -match shootout;

February will certainly not be easy for Amur. It all started with a game with the then leader of the East and continued with a game with one of the most dangerous teams in terms of attack – Omsk Avangard, typical for Martemyanov and Kravets is well known in Khabarovsk. Both at one point did a lot for Amour, but now they have come to Khabarovsk as rivals – to take points from the Tigers, who are vital for Amour. Khabarovsk “Siberia” passed, having risen to ninth place, now it is “Vanguard”.

In attack we had only one game in the third period. At the start of the game, the Amour hockey players wanted more than us. Here you need to play rationally, complete the task. You don’t have to run up front and score a hundred goals, you just have to play smart and not make the mistakes we made today when we conceded. What does it mean if you have enough strength for the second game in two days? It’s our job, we have to get those strengths, but the most important thing, as I’ve noted before, is to play rationally. Yes, I was square-headed this morning. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Semyon Chistyakov did not play from the second period, because the puck hit him in the ribs, pierced. They did an x-ray and there was nothing to worry about. But tomorrow we have to do another check, – said Mikhail Kravets, head coach of HC Avangard.

Amur’s mentor missed the third goal against the guests.

• I liked the content of today’s match, especially the second period, where we dominated our opponents on shots. The third goal was missing, which could decide everything in regulation time. Unfortunately, in their zone at the end, those minutes and a half didn’t last. But there is this great desire to win, it is necessary. Ignat Korotkikh deserved to play in the KHL with his performance in the MHL. He works very well, his link looks great, – said Vadim Yepanchintsev, head coach of HC Amur.

Now the teams will prepare for the next game, which will take place on the ice of Platinum Arena this Saturday. In the meantime, “Amur” climbs to eighth place in the conference. How long? Let’s see.
