Nizhny Novgorod hockey club "Torpedo" suffered a defeat in their second friendly match. The meeting with "Spartak" on August 20 ended 6:3 in favor of the Muscovites.
The coaching staff decided to try new combinations. In addition, Denis Kostin was in goal.
And the changes paid off. Already in the second minute the Nizhny Novgorod side opened the scoring. Dmitry Shevchenko assisted Nikita Shavin. However, five minutes later the hosts equalized.
The first period ended level, but the second twenty minutes were difficult for the Nizhny Novgorod team. Despite being shorthanded three times, Torpedo did not allow the opponent to capitalize on the man advantage. However, at even strength Torpedo conceded twice.
At the start of the third period Spartak increased their lead, making the score 4:1 in their favor. Torpedo’s response was immediate — Nikita Shavin completed a brace. Nevertheless, late in the game Torpedo conceded two more goals into an empty net. Still, Anton Sizov managed to reduce the deficit, converting a chance 13 seconds before the end of the match.
The match ended 6:3.
Soon Torpedo will once again play at Megasport. From August 28 to 31, Torpedo will take part in the Mayor of Moscow Cup.
