Yakov Trenin: "We had a lot of chances to score"

HC SKA forward Yakov Trenin:

- We started aggressively and managed to score goals. After we scored our first goal, we controlled the match, didn't give Dinamo Riga chances to equalise and saw the game out to win.

- SKA began to take penalties in the closing stages as Dinamo Riga competed with more speed.

- We didn't really let them begin to turn it around. Yes, we did take penalties, but we still saw the match out.

- You have good mutual understanding with Andrei Kuzmenko.

- Ahead of this match, we had only trained together once. We had a lot of chances to score, however the puck didn't want to go in.

- You scored a good individual goal in the first period.

- If I'm not mistaken, I prevented the puck from going for icing with my skate, and then I cut to the crease. The defenseman expected a pass, but I shot into the near corner after seeing that the goalkeeper had slightly come off his line.
