Forward Chelyabinsk “Tractor” Nikita Soshnikov after a power reception fell, crashed his head into the side and left the ice on a stretcher in the match of the regular championship Fonbet KHL with Moscow “Spartak”.
Soshnikov was injured in the second period after a clash with the defender of “red and white” Daniil Orlov. The arbitrators did not remove Orlov for forceful reception.
After the match, Traktor head coach Scott Gordon said that Soshnikov did not need hospitalization and he “did not break anything.” “I was glad to see him in the dressing room, he avoided serious injuries to his neck and other parts of his body,” the coach said.
“Spartak” lost the match with the score 2: 4, extending the series of defeats to four games. Soshnikov in this meeting made two assists.
Soshnikov, 32, played for Traktor in 2022-2024 and returned to the team before the start of the season.
In the previous eight matches of the season, the forward recorded two successful passes.
