Metallurg beats Admiral in first KHL game after coach Razin's suspension
In short
Metallurg Magnitogorsk beat Admiral Vladivostok at home in a KHL regular-season match, the club's first game after head coach Andrei Razin was suspended. Interfax and RBC reported the score as 3:0, while TASS's summary said the match ended 2:0. RBC reported that Razin was suspended the day before over a conflict with players.
Why it matters
The match was Metallurg's first since its head coach was suspended, so the result is a measure of how the team performed without him. The documents give no detail on the length or terms of Razin's suspension, leaving the club's coaching situation unresolved in the coverage. The event is a domestic league fixture with limited relevance outside Russia.
