Vasily Podkolzin speaks about the match against Jokerit

- Congratulations with the victory and your goal.

- I didn't score a goal today.

- Your name is in the protocol.

- Kirill Marchenko got a small touch on the puck. He didn't know whether my shot was going in or not, so he did not take any chances.

- It was a tough match for SKA.

- For us young players, we had our positive and negative moments. I think that we performed quite well today. However, we need to forget about this victory, because we will now play against CSKA on Tuesday.

- Jokerit were strong in the first period of play.

- Maybe, as a result of not having a morning skate, we needed to fully warm up during the first 5-10 minutes of the game. Nevertheless, after that, we performed better for the remainder of the match.

- For the fans, this is revenge after losing 0:6 in Finland in January.

- As players, we didn't speak about that, but we understood that we needed to make up for that loss. I think that we achieved this.

- How do you feel ahead of the playoffs?

- I think that we are in optimal shape. There is time before we play the first match at home on March 1st.
