– The team won third game in a row…

– We were focused on the games and played in a right way. Now we are on a winning-streak.

– Why did you decide to dress Emil Garipov for the game?

– I believed in him. I believe that he is an excellent goaltender and that he would show his best game here in Chelyabinsk.

Anvar Gatiyatulin, the head coach of HC Traktor:

– First of all, I would like to thank the fans for their support. In general, the game we played well in the first period. In the second, we did not play the way we wanted to play. We had good goal-scoring chances on the power play. In the third period, we told the guys on what kind of things it was better to focus on. Unfortunately, we did not take advantage of our goal-scoring chances.
