Alexander Dergachyov: "We need to improve ahead of the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs"

Alexander Dergachyov: "We need to improve ahead of the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs"

5 January 2019

- It was a tense game for 40 minutes.

- Yes, it was an even game, but we continued playing our own style of game without panicking. Both teams took plenty of penalties, but in the end, we scored our goals and won the match.

- What do you think about Dinamo Minsk this season?

- I haven't paid attention to any of their changes.

- SKA hadn't won in Belarus for a very long time.

- Yes, I thought about that when preparing for the match, it's always tough playing in Minsk against this team. Nevertheless, we were patient and tallied the victory.

- If SKA defeat Jokerit, the team will probably clinch the Bobrov Division.

- There are 19 matches left of the 2018/2019 KHL regular season. The Gagarin Cup playoffs are coming, so we need to improve. We will try to beat Jokerit in Finland.

- Are you happy with your line's performance?

- I didn't play a lot of 5 on 5 action because of the penalties. We can all play with each other.
