Alexei Kudashov: "We have a serious attitude for this match"

- How did the team spend the festive period?

- I managed to make a wish for the new year. Some of the guys stayed at home.

- How have you prepared for the January KHL matches?

- The players are professional. They were training even on December 31. The recent training sessions proved that the guys are in good condition.

- Dinamo have won the last three consecutive matches against SKA in Minsk.

- In recent matches, they have either won or lost by one goal. They're on a strong run of form so we have a serious attitude for this match. We know both Dinamo Minsk's strengths and weaknesses.

- While Patrik Hersley is injured, will David Rundblad undertake his role on the ice?

- We have a lot of players who can fill different roles. At the moment, David is playing in his position.

- Why did you take Daniil Ogirchuk on this KHL road trip.

- We hope that Daniil will take advantage of his chance today if it happens. His statistics are good and he's playing well, so he is here.

- In the last KHL away series, SKA had to make two comebacks from 0:2 down.

- We are always looking to keep improving and developing.

- Will Magnus Hellberg begin 2019 between the pipes for SKA?

- Yes.
