Marat Khusnutdinov: "We will now prepare to play CSKA in Moscow"

HC SKA forward Marat Khusnutdinov:

- Both teams played well. Unfortunately, we couldn't use our chances to score, it's disappointing to lose two consecutive matches in this manner. We will now prepare to play CSKA Moscow on Sunday.

- You played as a centre forward again. Did you require time to get used to playing there again?

- No, I'm used to it. I need to improve my faceoffs, though.

- You will soon join up with the national team.

- Right now, I'm only thinking about the KHL with SKA, we have a game against CSKA coming up.

- What went wrong for SKA in the third period?

- Spartak committed bodies to attack, they were 0:1 down. We needed to calm the tempo down and protect the puck in their zone more. We did have chances, however, but we couldn't take advantage of them.
