Yaroslav Askarov: "We failed to use our opportunities"

HC SKA goalkeeper Yaroslav Askarov:

- We created a lot of chances, controlled the match, but we couldn't score.

- How would you rate your own performance?

- This was my first match after missing a lot of time. Physically I feel good, but I need more games to fully get back in shape. I must play better than this.

- What happened in the third period? You had to be replaced by Magnus Hellberg for a while.

- The band which attaches my pad and skate snapped. I had to change it. The national team? I will work hard, that's all I can say.
