“Traktor” was defeated by “Salavat Yulaev”

Traktor closed the home series with an unsuccessful match against Salavat Yulaev. 0:4 – Traktor has never lost so badly this season. The Chelyabinsk attack without the injured Semyon Der-Arguchintsev looked inexpressive.

The Black and White squad has undergone several major changes, despite two wins in a row in previous meetings. Rookie Charles “Buddy” Robinson appeared at center on the first line. The two-meter Canadian took a place next to Anton Burdasov and Sergei Kalinin. Semyon Der-Arguchintsev was injured in the previous game and dropped out of the lineup. Nikita Soshnikov took his place on the edge of the third line. Zach Fucale was already in goal as usual.

For the first eight minutes of the match, it seemed that the hosts were playing in the majority – they looked so much better. However, almost the first attack of “Salavat Yulaev” ended in a goal. Artem Pimenov took advantage of the Chelyabinsk team’s mistake in his own zone.

In the second period, Salavat Yulaev leveled the game and scored the second goal. Evgeniy Biryukov was the fastest in front of the hosts’ goal. There was also an alarming episode when, after a collision with the Ufa attacker, Zach Fucale lay on the ice for some time. Fortunately, the Canadian goalkeeper was able to continue the match.

Unfortunately, in the third period, Traktor completely fell apart and conceded twice more. Vyacheslav Leshchenko and Artem Pimenov completed the defeat of the Chelyabinsk team. Note that after the third goal, the coaches replaced Zach Fucale with Sergei Mylnikov.

0:4 – Traktor’s biggest defeat this season. Without their leader Semyon Der-Arguchintsev, the “black and whites” were unable to create a single goal. The team goes on the road. The nearest stop will be in Omsk.
