Alexander Khokhlachyov: "We're not in top shape yet"

- The match-up against Metallurg Magnitogorsk is a repeat of the 2017 KHL Gagarin Cup final.

- We've already forgotten about that. This is a pre-season tournament, and both teams are preparing for the new campaign. It's good that we won, we were a bit more lucky than the opponents.

- SKA are playing well at this competition.

- Yes, we're performing well. However, this was only the second match. Knowing that Metallurg have a good team, we were focused for this game.

- Which match was the toughest?

- This is a pre-season competition, no one is in top shape yet. Every game is difficult.

- Alexander Barabanov keeps on scoring goals.

- We'll be happy if he continues scoring!
