Riga “Dinamo” returns to the field after a forced break with a match against Minsk “Dinamo” – Hockey – Apollo.lv – Sports

The game “Arena Riga” will start at 18.30, and it will be broadcast live by the channel “TV3 Sport 2”.

The people of Riga had their last game so far on September 16, when Khabarovsk’s “Amur” gave up 1: 2. Six days later a game was planned for his field, but in the ranks of Riga “Dinamo” and opponents Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo” infection with Covid-19 was detected, so this match was postponed, but in the next two duels – against Moscow teams “Dinamo” and CSKA the unit suffered technical losses.

Initially, the Riga team was quarantined until October 5, but on Tuesday the government decided to reduce the duration of home quarantine for Covid-19 patients from 14 to ten days, if not earlier than the tenth day after contact with the source of infection is negative, thus giving “Dinamo” the opportunity to return to the field faster.

Nine hockey players and two staff members were previously reported to be infected with Covid-19 Dinamo. Currently, the list of injured players includes five defenders and six attackers, most of whom will be replaced by the players of the Russian Youth Hockey League (MHL) team “Riga”.

Including technical losses, Riga “Dinamo” is currently in a series of four losses. By contrast, the Minsk team has won six games in a row.

The Latvian team with three points in seven games is the last among the 11 teams of the Western Conference, while the Belarusian team with 16 points in ten duels is in the third position.

The two teams KHL have played each other 44 times, dividing the victories in half. Last season, three of the four games were won by Rigans.

Last season, “Dinamo” took the penultimate place in the Western Conference and in the entire league, not qualifying for the Gagarin Cup for the sixth year in a row.
