Former player of the Kazakhstan national team, the author of the first-ever goal for the team in the elite division of the World Championship, Andrey Pchelyakov, shared his thoughts with Sports.kz about the regular season match of the Kontinental Hockey League between Omsk's Avanhard and Astana's Barys.
— “Barys is expecting a very tough away match against a strong opponent. Moreover, the Kazakh team has traveled to Omsk with a weakened squad. The guests today may find success through the audacity of their young players and the tactical scheme of the head coach. The coaching staff of ‘Barys’ should surprise ‘Avanhard,’” said the expert.
It is worth noting that the game will take place today in Omsk and is set to start at 19:00.
