Riga “Dinamo” today will compete with Novosibirsk “Sibir” in the first game of the first season of the new season of the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
The match will start at 15.30 Latvian time and will be broadcast live on the channel “TV3 Sport 2”.
Rigans have won one game in three games at the beginning of the season. First, with the debut of the head coach Pēteris Skudrs, “Dinamo” conceded to the Kazakh team Nursultana “Baris” 2: 3 at home, in the next match 1: 3 admitted the superiority of the goalkeeper Jānis Kalniņš represented by Helsinki “Jokerit”, but in the third game 4: 3 attacker Kaspars Daugaviņš represented by the Moscow region “Vitjaz”.
At the end of the home game series on Friday, a meeting with Neftehimik from Nizhny Novgorsk was scheduled, but several cases of Covid-19 were detected in the opposing team, so the fight has been postponed indefinitely.
Meanwhile, “Sibir” started the season with four losses in a row, but on Saturday in the second home match with 5: 4 beat “Beijing Red Star”.
KHL both teams have been strong 26 times, of which the Rigans have won only eight. Last season, both matches were won by “Sibir”.
Pēteris Skudra and his assistants have taken with them to these games: goalkeepers – Stanislav Galimov, Ilya Proskurjakov and Bruno Brewer; guards – Matthew Mayon, Morgan Ellis, Kristaps Sotnieki, Kristaps Zīlis, Ondržejs Vitasek, Andrew O’Brien, Ernest Ošenieks, Rice Scarlet and Jānis Jaks; attackers – Lauri Dārziņš, Mika Indraši, Mikēlis Rēdlihs, Zekas Mičels, Konstantins Komareks, Gints Meijs, Mārtiņš Dzierkala, Emīls Ģegers, Daniels Bērziņš, Renārs Krastenbergs, Patrick Zabusovs, Denis Paršins, Pāvels Vaernovs.
Due to a minor injury, the attacker Jesse Lipon remained in Riga, as did the recently signed attackers Gennady Stolarov and Eugene Gračov. Roberts Mamčics will continue to play in the farm club “Zemgale” / LLU, but the young Reinis Liepiņš, Deniss Fjodorovs, Kaspars Ziemiņš, Danila Larionovs are in the team of the Russian Youth Hockey League (MHL) “Riga”.
