Sergei Plotnikov: "We were lacking a bit of luck"

- What emotions do you have after the first KHL game?

- We had a lot of chances, but couldn't take advantage of them. Nevertheless, the home matches are coming up, and we will try to play at our maximum.

- The team begun on the front foot, but Traktor were the ones who scored. Were you lacking something?

- Despite our opportunities, we failed to find the net. Probably, we were lacking a bit of luck. We should have crashed the net harder.

- Will you play with Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk for the rest of the season?

- I can't answer this question, this is the coach's job. If we will play well, then we will probably stay together, but if not, the lines will get changed around.

- Have you built up mutual understanding?

- Yes, I would say that we know where we are going to be on the ice, and where we need to break into space.
