Alexander Barabanov: "We showed our character"

- Congratulations with your tenth goal of the season. Is it disappointing to lose in overtime after making a comeback?

- Thank you. We were poor at the start of the match and in the end, despite showing character, something was lacking.

- Oleg Znarok noted that the team was sleepy at the start. Why?

- I don't know. Maybe our mindset wasn't right, although we were pumped up for the match. It's hard to say.

- We have heard that the ice in Zagreb is too soft. How comfortable was it to play?

- The facilities here aren't the best, the ice was a bit soft. It was hot and there was also a strange smell on the ice.

- What is happening with special teams?

- Our penalty kill is a real problem. Evgeny Dadonov scored on the powerplay today, but we still have to improve.

- Have you made conclusions from this game?

- It's good that we managed to show our character and take a point. We'll move on.
