Anton Burdasov: "We lost because of our late penalties"

HC SKA forward Anton Burdasov:

- Both teams competed well and in an attacking, aggressive manner. We lost the match because of our late penalties.

- Did the powerplay prove vital?

- Yes, we had good chances on the man advantage, but our finishing let us down. Dinamo Minsk took advantage of this and scored their goals.

- Why did SKA fall away in the third period? Was it because you hadn't played in 2021 yet?

- No, I don't think so. We lost because we made mistakes, coughed up possession and lost the puck.

- Dinamo Minsk had a 19-year-old goalkeeper in net today.

- I think he is a future player of the Belarusian national team, for his age he competed with real confidence. He made plenty of big saves.
