Alexander Barabanov: "We try to improve every day"

- Share your feelings on the match against Dinamo Minsk.

- Of course, it's great that we won, but it's disappointing to concede a goal. Igor Shestyorkin deserved a shutout and it is a shame that we couldn't keep the opponents off the board.

- The 2019 KHL All Star Weekend was only a couple of days' ago.

- It's really nice that I got to travel there, there was time to relax a bit and speak with the guys. I think it was a positive thing.

- Last year, Dinamo Minsk beat SKA twice, but this season, it's the other way around. Have SKA got stronger or are Dinamo weaker?

- That's a strange question. We try to improve every day.

- It seemed that it was an easy victory.

- After scoring goals in the first period, it became easier to play. We began to create more opportunities.

- Nevertheless, SKA did lose the third period?

- We started to relax and they scored a goal. You have to keep playing until the end of the game.

- The whole Ice Palace stood to greet the survivors of the Leningrad Blockade.

- It's great that they were invited to the match, we are playing in the special "Leningrad" jersey. Thank you to them for everything.
