Jarno Koskiranta: "Lokomotiv didn't surprise us"

- Did the eight-day break help you?

- I think that Lokomotiv had the same break, but for us it was great because we had a lot of guys at the Olympics. We had a good rest and practice. It was a good start today.

- Today, did Lokomotiv surprise you?

- No.

- What can you expect from tomorrow's match?

- We have to keep playing our game. Today, I think that we stuck 100% to our game plan and didn't give them many chances. Mikko was great in goal too.

- In the third period, was it your goal to keep Mikko Koskinen's shutout intact?

- Of course. We killed a 3 on 5 Lokomotiv powerplay at the start of the third period, and we had the momentum. After that, we tried to keep the puck in their zone.

- There was a fight between Maxime Talbot and Ilya Kablukov. Who was better?

- Ilya, of course.

- Are you prepared to get involved in a fight?

- Of course, everyone is ready in our team.
