SKA - Neftekhimik. Press-conference

HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk head coach Vyacheslav Butsaev:

- I would like to congratulate the players, team and organisation with this victory. We want to play like this in all remaining matches. Today, the team believed in winning until the very end, despite starting poorly. The players fully stuck to the game plan. We don't need to speak about motivation, a match against these opponents gives you full motivation.

- How is Pavel Kulikov?

- I don't think it's a serious injury. Probably, it's a bruise, we will have a look.

HC SKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov:

- I congratulate Neftekhimik with their victory. We gave away two cheap goals, and our powerplay didn't work. We must play better, so we have to be satisfied with one point today.

- What happened after a good first period?

- We will look into this within the team.
