Andrei Kuzmenko and Danila Moiseev share their thoughts after defeating Ak Bars in Tatarstan

HC SKA forward Andrei Kuzmenko:

- It was a great game. I liked the way we played, it was a complete performance without any major mistakes. Yes, the score went back to 3:3 after we had held a 3:0 lead, but we continued playing until the end without falling apart.

- When you scored your goal, did you see the Ak Bars player coming towards you?

- Yes, but I took a risk and it was a nice goal.

- For SKA's disallowed goal in the third period, Valeri Bragin said that your stick touched Timur Bilyalov's blocker after the puck had already crossed the line. What do you think about that incident?

- I haven't seen the replay yet. I didn't hit the goaltender, in fact I was skating away from the net. Maybe he touched my stick with his blocker. The main thing is that we won this match.

HC SKA forward Danila Moiseev:

- It was a good, tough game, we needed to play tighter in the closing stages of the periods. We wasted a lot of chances, but it's great that we won.
