Roman Rukavishnikov speaks about the match against Spartak
- In the first period, the opponents played really well on the penalty kill, preventing us from scoring on a five minute long powerplay. We only managed to score on the four minute powerplay in the final moments. They defended solidly, but we were patient.
- Did Mikhail Maltsev's goal help the team relax?
- We congratulated him in the dressing room. We didn't relax though because Spartak are capable of coming back from 0:2 down.
- In Saint Petersburg, Spartak can challenge SKA, however they always lose at home without even scoring.
- It doesn't mean anything, all matches are different. It will be a different story in the playoffs.
- Are the matches against Jokerit and Lokomotiv practice ahead of the KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs?
- We need to analyse all of the small details and prepare for the playoffs.
