Forward Igor Larionov Jr. from Torpedo suggested that the matches against SKA and Yaroslavl's Lokomotiv helped the Nizhny Novgorod team secure a victory over Spartak in the FONBET KHL championship match (6:0).
“I think we have been playing quite well in the last five games. We realized that we can compete effectively with the leaders and even dominate a bit, which has helped us,” Larionov Jr. is quoted by TASS.
On December 3, Torpedo will host Metallurg at their home ice. The match will start at 18:00 Moscow time.
The Nizhny Novgorod team has accumulated 35 points and is currently in 6th place in the KHL Western Conference.
