Safronov: Lokomotiv on title pace under Kvartalnov
Ex-SKA defenseman Kirill Safronov says Lokomotiv, winners of 7 of 9 KHL games, need no major changes as Kvartalnov eyes a third Gagarin Cup.
Lokomotiv have won 7 of their 9 matches in the current Fonbet KHL Championship.
"Nikitin, during his time in charge, created a system at Lokomotiv that does not need much changing. When Hartley joined the team, he tweaked the game only slightly. Bob understood that there was no need to break anything down and rebuild it. And that brought him success. Kvartalnov does not need to fundamentally change Lokomotiv to win the Gagarin Cup for a third time. All the mechanisms of the team's play are in place. The roster has also barely changed. This season Lokomotiv are on a title pace," said Safronov.
