16.02.2021
Nikolai Zavarukhin, the head coach of «Sibir»:
-We had a good start. Our team could score more than one goal; unfortunately, we failed to use these opportunities. Yeah, it is our first game after the break; we have some lack of game practice. Our youngsters played well. We were fortunate to win.
Vyacheslav Butsayev, the head coach of HC «Neftekhimik»:
- That was an interesting game. It is clear that the teams' motivation is different in compare with playoffs teams. We had good goal-scoring chances in OT, but we did not take advantage of these opportunities. We got one point. It is better to get one point than to get nothing.
- What is the motivation for the end of the season - to get more points than «Kunlun RS» or to get some chemistry between players for the next season?
- Both things are important in terms of motivation for the rest of the season
