Andrei Kuzmenko: "It's important to support each other"

- It wasn't a great performance from us, to be honest. We allowed Torpedo to have a lot of counter-attacks, and with the playoffs approaching, we can't continue doing this. We must commit less mistakes, because in the upcoming matches, any error could decide the outcome. We must improve, and there isn't a lot of time left before the playoffs begin. We will draw conclusions from this game and move forward.

- Why did SKA make mistakes in defence?

- We relaxed a bit and allowed them to have opportunities on the counter. We wanted to make beautiful plays every time, but with the playoffs in mind, it would be better to compete in a more simple manner. We will work hard.

- You are playing well with Jarno Koskiranta at the moment.

- Unfortunately, I don't speak good English, but Anton Burdasov helps with the communication. We communicate by using both Russian and English. We're always in a good mood, and the results are there for all to see. It's always important to support each other, especially during the tough moments of matches.

- SKA could play against Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs.

- Everything is different in the playoffs, it doesn't matter who you play against. Let's see what happens.
