“It didn’t go as we planned”: HC Sochi lost to Kunlun RS

In the continuation of the away series, HC Sochi lost to Kunlun RS with a score of 5:1. The meeting took place on January 20 on the ice of the MUP Arena Mytishchi.

The Sochi team didn’t have a good game right away – already in the first period 3 goals hit their gates. The second third passed without changing the score, the Chinese hockey players did not give the Leopards an opportunity to respond to a series of throws. In the third period, Dmitry Utkin scored the team’s only goal for the game and saved HC Sochi from a dry loss, but there was no longer a chance to win. The rivals only confirmed their advantage by scoring two more goals against the Leopards.

“Of course, I’m not happy with the game today, we can’t find a good antidote against Kunlun in any way – in all the last matches that we played with him, not everything turned out the way we wanted. Today is the same match – not everything went as we planned. We can’t cope with the attack of the enemy, ”Sergey Svetlov, the mentor of the Sochi team, summed up the match.

The Leopards will continue the away series on January 22 on the ice of the Megasport sports hall in Moscow. Sochi residents will meet with Spartak players.

Recall that the position of HC Sochi this season leaves much to be desired. The team is experiencing one after one series of losses, the last one lasted 21 matches. The Leopards were able to interrupt the losing streak only recently during a meeting with Magnitogorsk “Metallurg”.
