Maxim Chudinov: "We tried our best and fought hard"

- After the win, are you going to go back to Saint Petersburg with a good mood?

- Yes. It's good that we won, and everyone did a great job - we tried our best and fought hard.

- How tough was it against CSKA?

- We knew that it was a very important game, especially as CSKA are in first place. We prepare for every match.

- But was it more important than usual to emerge victorious today?

- We play to win every game. Everyone gave their all today, showed our character, scored goals and won.

- You weren't too effective on the powerplay today.

- It was a five on three for practically two minutes, and in such a situation we should have scored. Never mind, the main thing is the win, and we will work over our powerplay in training.

- Is the team in a good state before leaving for Ufa?

- We will have a day off now. We'll rest, get together, and go to Ufa with a positive mindset.
