SKA - Admiral. Press-conference

Interim HC Admiral Vladivostok head coach Oleg Leontyev:

- We conceded two goals at the start of the match, but then we got into the game. In the second period, SKA had a lot of powerplays and they scored on practically all of them. We lost our top defenseman. We can take something positive away from the third period, because it ended 1:1. The guys tried their best, we move on.

- How is Anton Volchenkov?

- He has a concussion, he was pushed into the boards and he didn't see the opponent coming. The doctors will say how he is.

HC SKA head coach Oleg Znarok:

- I have mixed emotions. We tried to do some experiments with the team and special teams units, some aspects worked while others didn't. There isn't a lot of time left before the Olympic Games.

- Will Dinar Khafizullin be ready for the next match?

- I don't think he will be ready for Saturday, he has a small injury. Maybe he'll be ready before the Olympic training camp begins.

- How did Nikolai Prokhorkin play?

- Fine.

- Is it difficult to motivate the players for these matches?

- It's always difficult. We try to find motivation in every game.
