Alexei Byvaltsev speaks about the victory against Metallurg Magnitogorsk

- The main thing is that the team won. In the next match, we will play Barys, and they have a strong team. We move on.

- Your goal brought SKA back into the match. What went wrong in the first two periods?

- We didn't shoot enough. We managed to keep the puck in the attacking zone, but there weren't any shots. The coaches told us what to do in the break between the second and third periods and we achieved the positive result.

- The match here was just as difficult as in Saint Petersburg with these opponents.

- Magnitogorsk are a strong team, they won the KHL Gagarin Cup in the past. It's difficult to play against them. It was a tense game and they didn't take any penalties.

- You were born in Magnitogorsk. Did your family and friends attend the match?

- Yes, my relatives, mother and friends came to support me. Thank you to them for that. Those who couldn't be here watched on television. This wasn't the first time when I played here, but it was nice that my family could come and see the game.
