CSKA - SKA. Press-conference of game three

HC SKA head coach Oleg Znarok:

- It was a tough game, the opponents are strong. Probably, we were lucky that we scored. We have to think about our performance on the powerplay.

- Are you not worried by Ilya Kovalchuk's form? He hasn't got many points.

- He is doing his job. The goals will come.

HC CSKA Moscow head coach Igor Nikitin:

- We started poorly. I'm to blame. We improved later on, but it was already too late against an excellent team.

- Will Sergei Shumakov and Maxim Shalunov play in game four? When will Ivan Telegin?

- I'm not prepared to answer those questions now.

- What was your mistake at the start of the match?

- The players didn't have the right mindset.

- You had lots of time in the third period to turn the game around?

- SKA didn't allow for us to get back in the match.
