Rashit Davydov: "Mikko Koskinen will play against Avangard"

- How would you rate the goalkeepers' condition?

- Finally, Mikko has returned to his level. We were patient with him, and now he is playing really well during his series of games. Mikko will play against Avangard too. Omsk have a good team, they're strong at home. It will be a very interesting match.

- Tell us how you are maintaining the balance between the goaltenders.

- We are trying to keep them in shape, Evgeny Ivannikov is also working on the same program. Both goaltenders are taking it in turns to play, and I agree that Igor Shestyorkin has made a big step up this year. Last season, he was the back up, but now, he has proved that he can play a number of games at a good level. It's great for us.

- What is Avangard's main danger?

- There's nothing special, we're concentrating on the same things as usual. All teams play aggressively, crash the net and screen the netminder.
