Roman Rotenberg speaks after defeating Avtomobilist in Yekaterinburg

HC SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg:

- It's always nice to play against a strong club, Avtomobilist have a high-quality team with players from different countries. This is an important victory for us, our guys followed the game plan and improved to take control of the game in the third period. We're making a lot of changes to our lines? We are always searching for the key to victory. But, at the same time, we have to remember that we have several players currently on the sidelines with injuries. Ahead of the playoffs, we naturally want to stabilise the team. Today, we are satisfied with our lines' performances. Nikita Gusev? We want our players to be in optimal shape for the playoffs, they have to be fully ready physically. We have the aim of making sure that our guys are able to be the best versions of themselves.
