Pavel Kukshtel: "We showed our brand of ice hockey after the first period"

HC SKA forward Pavel Kukshtel:

- It was a good, physical match. We lost all of the duels in the first period, but we showed our brand of ice hockey after that frame.

- Why did the first period go so wrong for SKA?

- These things happen, it's ice hockey. We have to play all three periods in the correct manner.

- SKA will probably face Dynamo Moscow in the second round of the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs, but you lost all four meetings against them in the regular season?

- The playoffs are completely different in comparison to the regular season. We will focus on our own game.
