Valeri Bragin speaks after playing Jokerit in Finland

HC SKA head coach Valeri Bragin:

- This is a disappointing defeat. We scored in the closing stages, but we also conceded. The opponents netted the winning goal in overtime after we had missed our chances. We have a bad feeling after this game.

- What did you make of Nikita Gusev's performance?

- He played well. Of course, some things are lacking at the moment, but he will be in great shape after a few matches.

- Did your plan change after two players were unable to participate in this game?

- No, we had players to replace them.

- Was this match an excellent advertisement for the KHL?

- It was an interesting game, both teams focused on attack and there were a lot of goals and scoring opportunities.
