Sergei Shirokov: "Psychologically, we will find it easier now"

- What emotions can be witnessed in the dressing room?

- There are no emotions. We're preparing for the next three home games, they will be difficult. Tomorrow we will go to training and refresh.

- Where do you get your motivation from?

- Psychologically, the previous few games were a bit difficult because everyone was talking about when this winning streak was going to end. We needed to focus on our own game, but we couldn't do that in the first two periods. Their goalkeeper played well, but we made a lot of mistakes and didn't crash Sochi's net enough. We equalised in the third period, but we couldn't win despite having chances. The guys did a good job in the third frame.

- Will SKA find it psychologically easier now?

- Yes, because you will stop asking these questions and we can fully focus on our game. We will give 100%.

- The team wanted to give themselves a challenge.

- No, but Sochi played very organised. Their netminder was good. They earned two points, and we took one.
