Valeri Bragin: "We played well and created opportunities"

SKA head coach Valeri Bragin:

- From our point of view, it was a good perfornance with plenty of opportunities. It's a shame that we only managed to score four goals. We move on.

- Why didn't Anton Burdasov play?

- He has a small injury. Will he play in the upcoming matches? Both options are possible.

- Not all of the national team players were on the ice today.

- We gave them time to rest. It was tough for them to participate in three matches across the space of four days.

- How does the team feel after the international break?

- We rested well before training. We're satisfied with how we worked, the next three matches will show how we are.

- How is Dmitry Zavgorodniy? He was in the first line today.

- It was difficult for him after missing lots of games. We allowed Marat Khusnutdinov to play in the third period, he's in better shape. We believe that Dmitry will improve with every passing match.

- Alexei Babintsev has remained in the coaching staff.

- He is a young coach gaining experience. Alexei works with the forwards.
