This week, for Oleg Tymchenko’s side, will be marked by matchups against opponents our team has not yet faced this season. The first of them is Prizma.
Currently, Eriks Miļuns’ team sits in fifth place with 12 points. Last Saturday, they defeated Energija in Elektrenai following a shootout.
Among Riga’s players, statistical leader Roberts Jekimovs stands out with 14 points (8+6). For the Capitals, the best numbers so far belong to Martins Karsums, who has 15 points (5+10).
The Prizma`s roster consists almost entirely of Latvian players, but there are also two foreign players – 21-year-old Ukrainian goaltender Stanislav Teplytskyi and 18-year-old Portuguese forward Rico Valerio Fino David.
As tradition, we recall which of our players have previously represented the opposing side: Renars Cipruss, Eduards Hugo Jansons, Martins Karsums, Maksims Sirokovs, and Kristians Zelts.
It’s worth noting that the Kyiv side currently tops the standings, having won six games in a row. We’ll soon see how the next battle unfolds – this time against a new opponent.
