“Another failure at the start of the third period decided everything. The grossest mistakes. With such an opponent, you can«t make such mistakes. If we need ten chances to score, the opponent needs two. A skillful team. In principle, then we tried to somehow change the game: we changed lines, the goalkeeper… We seemed to move a bit, created chances, but, unfortunately, without goals it»s hard to win. We created chances, in principle. Good chances. We need to convert them. The forwards today had another uninspired game,” summarized Rostov«s head coach Grigory Panteleev.
Rostov«s next match will be on February 2, hosting Moscow»s Zvezda on home ice.
