Neftekhimik Head Coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 4–2 win over Spartak.
– The guys played great, I am proud of our team. In such a difficult situation, they find the strength and emotion to continue the fight. Many play with injuries, on injections. That is why we almost always have the same lineup. We have three defensemen in the infirmary. That's why those who play instead of them deserve great respect. I am glad that the team has a fighting spirit, no one gives up. Today, the guys showed character and demonstrated all the qualities that bring success. I would like to note the good work of ht pk unit. Ozolin made more than 30 saves.
