Korotky and Polyakov speak after beating Traktor

HC SKA forward Matvei Korotky:

"Both teams played at a high tempo, but we have to remember that this was Chelyabinsk's fourth consecutive away match. As a consequence of our freshness and correct approach, we managed to earn the two points.

"My goal? We stole the puck from Traktor while they were attacking and managed to put together a neat move. I initially started the match in one line with Rocco Grimaldi? The coach decided that it would be better for Nikita Dishkovsky and I to play together, and that turned out to be the case."

HC SKA forward Matvei Polyakov:

"We won the game as a result of following the coach's plan. My goal? It was a really special moment! However, I have scored goals in the MHL, so it's nothing new. 

"The young players made the difference? The coach made the call to put Korotky, Nikita Dishkovsky and myself in a line together, and we managed to perform really well! They saw that our line with Rocco Grimaldi wasn't working."
