Evgeny Timkin: "We showed character to win"

HC SKA forward Evgeny Timkin:

- The main thing is that we won and have taken the series lead. We're preparing for the next match.

- Did you immediately see that the puck went in after Vladislav Kamenev took the shot in overtime?

- To be honest, I was fighting for the puck and didn't see what happened. When Vladislav raised his hands, everything became clear.

- Why didn't SKA focus on defending when leading 2:0?

- This is the playoffs, we're competing against a good opponent. We showed our character and claimed the win, everything is fine.

- What was the issue between yourself and Andrei Mironov?

- Let's leave what happened there on the ice. Anything can happen during battle.
