Igor Makarov: "You can say that I got lucky"

- How hard was it to play in Podolsk?

- It was quite challenging. Vityaz clawed back two goals, we then went ahead again, but they kept coming back. In all of their goals players who used to represent SKA played a part.

- Your line is showing excellent hockey. As a result of the constant squad rotation, do you want to score even more?

- Yes, we go out to play not at 100%, but at 200%. We have only one game every week, so we have more strength left and a lot of desire. We’re trying, and during training we discuss new ideas and tactics.

- Has scoring your first goal of the season taken the weight off your shoulders?

- You can say that I got lucky. I need to keep on working.
