Neftekhimik forward Nikita Artamonov speaks with the media after a following 3–2 shootout win over Admiral.
– It was quite an interesting and hard–batlled game. We should have won in regulation time, but it turned out the way it did, and thank God we won. We created a lot of chances, the pace was good, but we didn't score many goals.– How difficult is it to play when the opponent plays a closed game? The last few games have been like that.
– I wouldn't say it's difficult. It's more like we're not capitalizing on the chances we create.
– Would you say luck was on your side?
– You have to earn luck, and we did that with our actions.
– We're playing Admiral next game. What are your expectations, and what do you need to do to get a win?
– We'll go out and play like we did today, but we need to improve our scoring abilities.
