Alexander Khokhlachyov: "We are constantly improving"

- With the KHL getting closer, how do you feel?

- We are approaching the start of the season in good form.

- Did today's game differ strongly from the fixture in Sochi?

- Yes. In Sochi, there were some problems with the ice, and we were tired from training. Now, we feel more fresh, and we are improving with every game.

- This was your first match in Saint Petersburg. Did you enjoy the atmosphere?

- It was fantastic, a lot of fans came to the arena. I knew that SKA have the best atmosphere in the KHL.

- At the start of the KHL, you will play with Salavat Yulaev, Ak Bars and Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Will you prepare especially for them?

- No, I don't think so. All teams are strong, and we are simply preparing for the championship not thinking about who we will play against.
