Roman Rotenberg speaks after playing Lokomotiv away

HC SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg:

- Both teams attacked well. I have to give Yaroslavl credit, they're a really organised team. From our point of view, if you don't shoot, you're not going to score. Unfortunately, the mistake which we made while competing shorthanded proved to be decisive. I have no issues with the refereeing, Nikita Zaitsev deserved to receive his penalty late in the third period.

I would like to congratulate Kirill Tankov with his KHL debut, he caught the eye out there on the ice. Artemiy Pleshkov? He's been our best player in the last two games, he fights for every puck. Hopefully our injured players such as Nikita Serebryakov, Alexander Nikishin, Andrei Pedan, Vasily Glotov, Sergei Plotnikov and Sergei Andronov will soon return.
