Torpedo NN vs HC Sochi. What will the car manufacturers show in a game against an outsider?
Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo will play a home match against HC Sochi on February 9. The meeting will take place on the ice of the Nizhny Novgorod KRK Nagorny.
The automakers did not play out the championship period in the best way at the turn of late January - early February, managing to set their own anti-record for the current season, collecting a series of five defeats. It is worth noting that in each of the lost matches the opponent’s advantage was only one goal, so there is no need to talk about a serious gaming crisis for the Nizhny Novgorod club.
The series of defeats was interrupted on February 6, when the Torpedo team hosted Chelyabinsk Traktor at home. The game was not replete with scoring chances, so the audience saw only four goals scored. The Nizhny Novgorod defense, led by Slovakian goalkeeper Adam Guska, was almost flawless, conceding only one goal. In the attack, Torpedo scored three goals (Vinogradov, Belevich, Voronin), and the last one was thrown into the already empty goal of the visiting team. Despite the rather modest results of late, Torpedo continues to retain fifth position in the standings, with virtually no chance of moving higher. Now Igor Larionov’s team has 71 points; fourth place Spartak is already 7 points ahead.
HC Sochi
The Sochi team continues to demonstrate amazing stability with a minus sign, failing for the fifth season in a row. The management, coaching staff, and hockey players change, but the result is the same - the Sochi hockey club once again finds itself without the playoffs, ending the season in February. At the same time, the Sochi team is quite combat-ready, which was confirmed by the results of the initial period of the championship, following which the team was even among the leaders of the Western Conference at one time. By mid-October, everything had returned to normal and the southerners began their traditional path to the depths of the tournament table.
At the finish of the championship, Dmitry Kokarev's team significantly improved, starting to collect points, but they will not be able to radically change their position. In the last ten matches, the Sochi team has six victories, including a home victory in the game against Kazan Ak Bars 3-1 and an away victory 2-1 over Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. Such a breakthrough allowed the team to leave the last line of the standings, sending Vityaz near Moscow there. Now HC Sochi has 47 points and is currently in tenth place. The closest landmark, Chinese Kunlun, is only one point ahead of the southerners, so the Sochi team has a chance to move up a spot.
