Match center Metallurg Nk - Traktor - 1: 2 09/29/2016 Announcement Online (new window) TV broadcast Report Protocol Highlights Photo Post-match comments Previous match Salavat Yulaev 09/27/2016 Next match Metallurg Mg 01/10/2016 Match announcement The start of the season for our today's rival, the Traktor team, turned out to be quite good. Chelyabinsk residents still win more than they lose, which allows them to be in the leading group at Vostok. Now the Urals take the 5th place, while being ahead of the higher "Ak Bars" in terms of lost points and lagging behind the third position by only 3 points. Before the start of their away series, Traktor played a lot of matches at home. More specifically, from September 6 to September 24, 7 fights took place in Chelyabinsk. Moreover, the interest in matches on the part of the audience, both at the beginning of the home series and at its end, was high. For example, 6 thousand fans attended the match against Jokerit on September 6, and 7 thousand spectators attended the match with Slovan on the 24th. Traktor finished their home series with a defeat to the Slovaks (1: 3), conceding all three goals by the 27th minute. Before that, the Chelyabinsk team had 3 victories in a row. The team defeated the current Gagarin Cup winner - Magnitka (5: 3), the bronze medalist of the last season - Salavat Yulaev (4: 2) and Medveschak (3: 0). Moreover, the success in the match with Magnitogorsk turned out to be strong-willed. "Traktor" was inferior during the meeting 0: 2 and 2: 3. On the road in the championship, the Chelyabinsk team played 5 matches and were left without points scored only in one - in the opening match with CSKA (0: 3). In two other meetings, Traktor achieved victories - over Severstal (7: 2) and in overtime over Avtomobilist (2: 1). The team managed to increase the number of points scored in Khanty-Mansiysk, but still it was not without defeat, albeit in shootouts (1: 2). On the eve of the match with Metallurg, Chelyabinsk played in Novosibirsk and also lost in shootouts 1: 2 to Siberia. The most points for performance after 13 matches were scored by Maksim Yakutsenya, who is Traktor's most experienced hockey player. The 35-year-old striker, who played for our Metallurg in the 2006/07 season, earned 12 (4 + 8) points. And he has already scored half of the goals he had in the 2015/16 season (8 goals in 54 games). So it's not for nothing that the striker has increased the average playing time compared to the last championship by 3 and a half minutes to 20:45. In terms of the number of goals, along with Yakucenya, Canadian Paul Shchekhura (4) is leading among the forwards, who has scored in the range from 13 to 17 goals in the previous three seasons. The forward to Traktor moved into the offseason from Dynamo Minsk. And now he is the most useful hockey player in Chelyabinsk ("+9"). У защитников больше всех очков набрал Кирилл Кольцов — 6 (5+1) в 13 матчах. Он является главным снайпером «Трактора». В прошлом сезоне Кольцов отличился лишь 2 раза в 39 играх за «Салават Юлаев» и «Торпедо». Но в этом чемпионате Кирилл вполне может выйти на свой результат сезона 2014/15, когда забросил 18 шайб. Лучшим игроком обороны по показателю полезности является хоккеист, в 13 матчах не набравший ни одного очка. Это Артем Бородкин. У него «+7». Основной голкипер в «Тракторе» — Василий Демченко, сын нашего тренера вратарей Виктора Демченко. В активе Демченко-младшего уже 2 матча на ноль. Чех Павел Францоуз пребывает в запасе. Что интересно, до матча в Новосибирске легионера выпускали на лед в чемпионате всего дважды, и он не пропускал ни одной шайбы, правда Францоуз выходил на замену. И вот впервые в старте Павел появился в поединке против «Сибири» и пропустил всего 1 шайбу, отразив 33 броска. Предыдущие 5 матчей «Металлурга» в Новокузнецке против «Трактора» 15/16 - 2: 3 (Polishchuk-2 - Osnovin-2, Novak), 14/15 - 1: 6 (Galimov - Glinkin, Osnovin, Quint, Chistov, Gubarev, Popov), 13/14 - 2: 3 B (Valuisky, McLean - Kontiola, Zavarukhin, Kuznetsov), 12/13 - 0: 6 (A. Kostitsyn-2, Yakutsenya, Glinkin, Chistov, Bulis), 11/12 - 2: 3 B (Bumagin, Kosourov - Burdasov, Antipov, Chistov). © NP NHC Metallurg, 2013 - 2015 Email: mnk@metallurg-nk.ru Phone: +7 (3843) 45-84-06
