Reaktor player Makar Kurbatov speaks with the media after a following 1–6 loss against Mamonty Ugry.

– Makar, we the team had a good start, but the game fell apart in the second period. What happened?
We need to work on defensive play, especially in our own crease, and be more active in the opponent's. I think this moment played a huge role in our defeat.

You scored your first JHL goal.
To be honest, nothing compares to a winning locker room. A goal is a goal, but the team's defeat did not allow let me to be happy about the goal scored.

It is obvious that you have become more confident in your abilities, and apparently adjusted to the team. What are your overall emotions from the league, from the team?
I am incredibly happy to be here, in Nizhnekamsk. We have a great team, so there were no difficulties in getting into the game. At first it was unusual, a different speed, a different game, but gradually I adjusted my game.
