Valeri Bragin and Arseniy Koromyslov speak after playing Salavat Yulaev in Kazan

HC SKA head coach Valeri Bragin:

- This game gave us a lot of information. We did take too many penalties, though. We have received a lot of data which we will analyse.

- Where are Malte Stromwall, Dinar Khafizullin, Artyom Shvets-Rogovoi and Emil Galimov?

- Artyom and Emil are injured. The others are in our group.

- Will anyone leave SKA before the summer ends?

- We have this tournament and then one in Saint Petersburg. We are continuing to work.

HC SKA defenseman Arseniy Koromyslov:

- One mistake allowed the opponents to take the lead, and it's not easy to equalise. We missed our chances to score.

- What is Roman Rotenberg's role on the bench?

- There is an individual approach for each player. He encourages me, I'm not experienced at this level yet. He has an important role.

- How do you feel with the main team?

- It's nice being here. In terms of ice hockey, the level here is higher, the pace is quicker.
