The former forward of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) club SKA Evgeny Artyukhin explained why it can be difficult for players to achieve a double numerical advantage. He shared his opinion with him legal betting.
“The ‘five-on-three’ game is easier because there are fewer hockey players on the ice, but psychologically it is more difficult for the players than, for example, ‘five-on-four’. Here the team needs to show all their skills. I think it’s impossible not to score goals when there are two other players and some still manage to score goals.
Where does this come from? Some hockey players lose concentration. They see that there are two more players and they say to themselves: oh, now we will score quickly, then they will not be able to get on the field even for a minute.
Any club has various combinations when playing the power game; If one element doesn’t work, you need to try different options. There shouldn’t be any confusion. One partner begins to pull the blanket over himself to improvise. If you have a good team and good players, there should be 80 percent success in a 5-on-3 match,” said Artyukhin.
On September 24, in the match between Dinamo Minsk and Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod (3:4) within the scope of the KHL regular championship, the Belarusian team twice failed to convert the five-on-three power play. The torpedo team managed to remain in the minority.
