Neftekhimik forward Nikita Buruyanov speaks with the media after a followng 5–2 loss against Lokomotiv.

 – I have been waiting for my debut for a very long time. It was mentally difficult to overcome the pressure. I was very lucky to successfully enter the game, get into the rhythm and score a goal. This really helps you relax mentally. I think that in the next games I will get better and better.  The coaches explained me the way I need to play. Besides, I played similar hockey before. I feel comfortable being at Neftekhimik. What was missing to win? Hockey is all about details. We did not have many shots made until the third period. The opponent did not have much of an advantage. We made a mistake and the opponent scored. What did we change before the third ? We paid attention to the number of shots made. We were told that we need to create chances.
