Admiral’s Streak Ends: Torpedo Triumphs 4-2 in KHL Showdown as Head Coach Celebrates Birthday

“Admiral” stopped his scoring streak in the KHL, missing a home victory in the game with Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo”. At the beginning of the second period, the “sailors” gained a two-goal advantage, but a double from the former player Admiral Kirill Voronin returned the draw to the scoreboard even before the break, and already in the twenty-third minute, a goal from Breus and Artamonov did it 2:4 for the people.

On the day of the match with Torpedo, head coach Admiral Leonid Tambiev celebrated his 54th birthday. Despite the fact that his team is in the last game beat “Vityaz” (6:3), the coach did not completely abandon the winning team and started throwing: Mishurov played in the goal instead of Demchenko, and in the fourth line he released Shmelev instead of Nikolaev.

And in the first minutes of the meeting, the “sailors” were eager to congratulate the “director” on the holiday. Already in the 5th minute they managed to open the scoring. The removal of the former “Admiral” Kirill Voronin, who played more than two hundred games for the Primorye team, was evident with the hockey players of the second and third line: Gutik made a transverse move to the right edge to Shen, he said. shoot the nickel, where he successfully put Petukhov’s stick – 1:0. For the person who received the puck, this goal was the sixth of the season.

Then followed a series of deletions from the hosts. Then, the penalty box was chosen by Petkov, Grman and Rodwald. To keep the goal intact, Tambiev’s team had to work hard, but the work, despite the problems that arose, was completed. At the same time, after the break, the “sailors” built on their success, hitting the goal of Ivan Kulbakov for the second time. Starkov got behind the visitors’ goal from the left corner, troubling the goalkeeper and defenders, and left the puck to Gutik, who fired a shot into the empty corner from close range. – 2:0.

The Torpedo team was able to restore neutrality thanks to the one and only Kirill Voronin. In the 33rd minute, the striker looked for a rebound from Shulak’s skate and put the puck into the net, and 3 minutes later he fell in the minority at a rendezvous with Mishurov and confidently hit him – 2:2.

In the 50th minute, the guests scored again, but Leonid Tambiev immediately took the coach’s request to block the goalkeeper – and it was approved by the referee team, so the goal was sent off. True, soon even the judges could not save the Admiral. Breus, after Kagarlitsky’s pass, threw from the blue line, and the defender’s rebound caught the Primorye goalkeeper by surprise – 2:3. There was no last attack from the “sailors”: in the 55th minute, Artamonov scored the fourth goal and set the final score – 2:4.

“What the boys were warned about, that’s why they scored three goals. Torpedo have strong counter-attacks, they scored 11 goals out of 25 goals against attacks, and we scored three, including an optional goal for a power play. The game was more or less the same, I liked the third period, we felt the thread of the game, but the stupid third goal from a rebound… A lot needs to be corrected. Because of fatigue, we still cannot play properly, hard, for results, there is a problem here. The boys fought, they tried, but maybe today is not our day,” he said at the post-match press conference head coach of HC “Admiral” Leonid Tambiev.

After achieving eight points out of ten in the first home series of the 2024/2025 season, the Vladivostok team goes on the road on the route Minsk – Sochi – Togliatti – Chelyabinsk. The sailors will play their next match on October 1 against Dynamo (Minsk). Admiral’s next home game will be held on October 15 against Severstal (Cherepovets).
