Roman Rotenberg speaks after playing Sochi away

HC SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg:

- Considering that this was our fourth game of the road trip, we knew that it would be tough for us. The opponents were fresh after resting for a week. We succeeded in our plan of scoring in the first stanza, but then we lost the rhythm of the match. We'll draw the required conclusions from this performance. Yes, we were feeling fatigued after our flights, but this isn't an excuse for how we played today. With all due respect to Sochi, we lost this match ourselves. We now have time to lick our wounds and prepare for a very important game against Ak Bars Kazan in Saint Petersburg. I would also like to note the brilliant support here in Sochi, the fans packed out the arena.
