Oleg Leontyev: «Our penalty killing unit did a good job»

Neftekhimik Head Coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 3–4.

– Congratulations to the team and fans this victory! In the first period, we took advantage of chances we had. Our team got a 3-goal lead. It was a hard-battled game. Our penalty killing unit did a good job. In the third period we conceded goals and the opponent was inspired by these goals. We 27 blocked shots. The guys played well with a great focus on the game.

– The team conceded 3 goals in a row. What happened?

– There was no panic. The opponent put pressure on us. When you lose, you always want to cut the opponents’ lead.

– What are the strengths of Daniil Skorikov?

– He is an offensive forward with good skating and hard shot. Therefore, I expect from him a lot of goals and playing well defensively.

– Why Anthony Camara did not play today?

– Because he is not in the roster due to game discipline. If you watched our previous game, you might have noticed why we conceded the second goal.
