Igor Fyodorov: «It was a hard game»

26.08.2025

Reaktor Head Coach Igor Fyodorov speaks with the media after a following 3–1 win over Sputnik.

– It was a hard game, both teams did not want to give up. That's what the Tatarstan derby is for!

We played the first period quite well, we were much better than our opponents in creating goal–scoring chances. In the second period, we gave up the initiative a little, but in the third period, having calmly talked during the break, we did what we needed to .I will note that we took too many penalties. Perhaps, against this background, we sagged a little, because the same players have more job to do.

– Today, all the goals were scored on the power play. So, it was game of Specail Units?
– I think so. We scored all three goals on ht power play. This is encouraging, because if we score during 5–on–4 hockey, it means that we are doing everything right in practice.
