Press Conference «Neftekhimik – Amur» 01/25/2023

Oleg Leontyev, the head coach of HC Neftekhimik:

– It was a hard game. We got a point. We did not take advantage of our power play in the end. This game is kind of playoffs. We are getting ready for road trip.

– Why Neftekhimik did not score during 5 on 3 power play?

– During practices, everything is good. Perhaps, the guys were nervous a little bit.

– Did you think about changing the goalie for shootout?

– No. Tikhomirov played well.

Vadim Yepanchintsev, the head coach of HC Amur:

– It is clear that the price of a mistake is high. Somewhere there was a lack of confidence to make a goal-scoring shot. Both sides had good chances to score. The key moment of the game is our pk unit during 3 on 5 hockey. In shootout we were lucky to get a win.
