Nikita Gusev speaks about defeating Jokerit at home

- You have registered 61 KHL assists so far this season. How do you feel?

- Nothing special. I had already tallied 61, however one of my assists was taken away. It was about 15 games ago. I knew that I had broken the record already so I played calmly.

- Alexander Radulov, the last record holder, is very active on Instagram. Will he send a message to you?

- I'm not on Instagram, so that doesn't bother me.

- SKA played very well in the first and third periods. What happened in the second?

- Jokerit improved and started to play more aggresively. We spent more time in our own zone, but we were better in the third frame and managed to win.

- Is it good to compete in such a match ahead of the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs?

- Yes, it was a good game. They played with aggression and didn't give us a lot of space on the ice.

- Can SKA improve on the powerplay?

- Yes, of course. We need to take advantage of our opportunities more regularly.

- Will you celebrate the record?

- No, I don't think so. I will try to keep improving in future matches.
