Neftekhimik player Ilya Pastukhov speaks with the media after a following 4–3 win over Lada.
– We had a good start and played a good game. However, there are questions about the ending. In such situations, we need to play confidently. Overall, it is a great, and at the same time important victory.
– There were a lot of changes in the lineup. Do you think this affected the outcome of the game?
– It is hard to say. But it is not my business, it is not for me to decide. I have to focus on my game and do my best.
If we won, then everything was right.
– In the first period, the opponent made a "dirty" hit on Seleznyov. However, you immediately stood up for your teammate. In your opinion, did this moment play a certain role in the team's success?
– I think that in this episode, anyone would have stood up for their teammate. I repeat, the main thing is that we won.
– This victory should raise the guys' spirits, especially since we have a tough game ahead of us in Ufa...
– I hope that today's emotions will help in the next game. We will go out and "die" on the ice.
