Admiral - SKA. Press-conference

HC SKA head coach Oleg Znarok:

- It was a tough game for us. We're happy that we have taken nine points from the road trip, but we now need to recover because a difficult match at home is coming up.

- How did you find the strength to play well today?

- A few players were given a rest when we played Amur.

- Artyom Zub made his SKA debut. What impressions did he leave you with?

- Good ones.

- Why didn't Vadim Shipachyov play?

- He was given a rest.

HC Admiral Vladivostok head coach Alexander Andrievsky:

- After being sluggish in the first period, we were a lot better in the second and third. We let the opponents have a lot of space during that opening frame, they were dominant. It's good that we went to the first break only one goal down. The team played a lot better later on, however we didn't use our goalscoring chances. During the final stages, I think that we should have had a two man advantage, the first foul was committed by Andrei Zubarev and not Roman Rukavishnikov. We will ask the refereeing department to review that incident. We will prepare for the final two games before the national team break.
