“Tractor” closed the home series with a victory over “Siberia”

Traktor ended the home series with a 3-2 victory over Sibir. Before the match, it became known that the main players Anton Burdasov and Roman Manukhov were injured, and the scandalous striker Alexei Potapov was put up for the bounce draft.

After the defeat from Vityaz near Moscow, a number of changes took place in the composition of the Chelyabinsk team, and many of them were forced. The injury of the team’s top scorer Anton Burdasov turned out to be serious, the striker was out for a long time. In the first link, he was replaced by Temu Pulkkinen. Kirill Kapustin was transferred to the third link, and Mikhail Kotlyarevsky and Mikhail Goryunov-Rolgizer made up the fourth three along with Andrey Stas. In the third pair of defenders, instead of the injured Roman Manukhov, Igor Isaev, who recovered from injury, came out. The seventh and eighth defenders are Alexander Shepelev and Artem Shchuchinov. Place at the gate was taken by Ilya Proskuryakov.

To the delight of the Chelyabinsk fans, the first period turned out to be fiery. Alexey Byvaltsev in the majority from an acute angle opened the scoring. But after that, Traktor missed a quick counterattack, and Nikita Shashkov restored the balance. Units on the scoreboard did not last long. Kirill Kapustin scored a completely similar goal only against Siberia. And towards the end of the playing segment, the fourth link of the “black and white” worked. The first goal for Chelyabinsk and the seventh in his career in the KHL was scored by Mikhail Kotlyarevsky.

In the second period, the teams slowed down and played without goals, although Temu Pulkkinen, Maxim Shabanov and other players had good moments.

In the third period “Tractor” continued to competently “dry” the game. But Sibir managed to revive the intrigue by scoring a slightly curious goal 2 minutes before the end. Dmitry Ovchinnikov excelled. But the hosts did not allow more and kept the winning score.

3:2 – Traktor’s important victory. For the seventh match in a row, Chelyabinsk defender Sergei Telegin has scored points. The next match “black and white” will be played on November 10 in Vladivostok against “Admiral”.
