Neftekhimik forward Maxim Sushko speaks with the media after a following 3–4 overtime win over Dinamo Mn.

– We started a little timidly and gave the initiative to our opponent, but Fill kept us in the game–many thanks to him. We were able to turn things around and capitalize on our chances. I think that we deserved the win.

Igor Vladimirovich (Grishin) constantly tells us that we need to continue to play our game and not be afraid. After the first period, the coach told us to use our speed. We increased our movement and began to get past the defenseman and the opponent's tight defense. Both the second and fourth winning goals were the result of quick counterattacks.
