SKA - Dynamo Moscow. Press-conference

HC Dynamo Moscow head coach Vladimir Krikunov:

- We played well, but we probably left a lot of our energy in Ufa in the match against Salavat Yulaev. Today, we didn't have great movement, but we were in a winning position for a long time. However, unfortunately, our young players made a mistake before an error while changing shifts in overtime resulted in us losing this game.

- Dynamo seemed ready to match SKA.

- We are ready for anything, but it's hard to compete in six games over a nine-day period. You begin to lose energy. We were lacking this freshness today.

- Young defenseman Yegor Zaitsev took a cheap penalty in the third period which could have cost you the game.

- Sadly, this is not the first time when he has done this. We haven't had time to speak with him about this issue yet.

HC SKA head coach Alexei Kudashov:

- First of all, we are happy with the result today, we played against a strong, well-organised team. I liked our movement and, starting from the second period, we crashed the net excellently.

- The young players were vital for SKA today.

- We know when we need to give them a break. Today, they played really well. We will see how things go.
