Anton Burdasov and Maxim Chudinov before the game in Ufa

Anton Burdasov:

- Today's training session wasn't as intense as usual.

- Usually we have our pre-match training earlier, and it was a bit later today as this match takes place at 17.00 Saint Petersburg time. We have had a short rest, but we will now continue with new emotions and more strength.

- What can you say about the opponents?

- After the Spengler Cup, Salavat have looked great and have beaten Ak Bars and Avangard in overtime. It will be a tough game today.

Maxim Chudinov:

- The pre-match training shouldn't be long anyway. We just need to go out and feel our skates and the puck. We don't have a lot of players yet, and our lines aren't complete. Salavat are a top team, but nevertheless we will try to win.
