Reaktor Head Coach Igor Fyodorov speaks with the media after a following 4–5 overtime loss against Krylya Sovetov.
– Let's be honest, our defensemen scored three goals in the first period. In the second and third periods, we managed to turn the game around: they blocked a lot and played well on the penalty kill. Of course, the guys deserve credit for that. But that doesn't change the fact that the first period was a disaster.Additionally, several other factors contributed to the poor start. I won't go into detail; I discussed it with the guys in the locker room. The main thing is that they understand everything. I think we'll correct these mistakes soon."
– How did you manage to come back and earn one point?
– When you fight hard, catching the puck with every part of your body, the team starts to fire up. My hockey god sees everything! I think that we definitely earned one point.
– Amir Gizyatov played his first game of the season after his injury. How would you rate his performance?"
– Gizya (Gizyatov) is a great guy. He scored in his very first match after a serious injury. He's a guy with character, he was raring to go even at the start of the season. He had a good game, and he should keep improving. I only have one complaint about him – he got sent off for no apparent reason. But we talked, and he understood everything. I'm rating his return as "Good." We're waiting for it to be "Excellent."
