Harijs Vitolins speaks before playing Traktor

- How did the players spend the short break?

- I think that everyone celebrated New Year at home. However, now we need to start working again after three days off. We won't have a break during January.

- There was an intense training session before the match.

- Before games, you always need to train with intensity. There should be no difference between training and matches.

- Will Patrik Hersley play?

- Yes, probably.

- After the World Junior Championship, will SKA's young players be given a rest?

- They will return and have a rest. We have four players which aren't on the roster at the moment, so we have enough players.

- What can we expect from Traktor Chelyabinsk?

- The final matches are taking place, some have ten or eleven games remaining in the regular season. When playing at home, teams fighting for the playoffs compete with extra motivation. In the last game, Traktor lost 0:2. It will be a good, exciting match.
