Metallurg lost to Torpedo in overtime
Despite all the known staffing problems, Metallurg could take a point in a home match against Torpedo, which ended 2:3 in overtime.
Before the match head coach Ilya Vorobyov returned to Metallurg's coaching bridge. In addition to him, experienced strikers returned to Magnitka: Nikolai Prokhorkin and Arkhip Nekolenko.
But the defense of the hosts was not so experienced, with the exception of Yegor Yakovlev, Artyom Zemchenko and Nikita Khlystov. The inexperience of the defensive line was, perhaps, the main problem of Magnitogorsk in this game.
Nevertheless, there are also positive aspects - Artyom Zagidulin is playing more and more confidently and reliably, and captain Sergei Mozyakin was the first in the history of the Continental Hockey League to score 900 points!
