Vitaly Atyushov gave a brief postgame comment

 It was a hard-fought game on both sides. As you can see, all the teams want to gen into playoffs zone are fighting to get in it. We sticked to the coaching staff’ tactic. We did it great. We scored 4 pucks and Sasha made a shutout. We battled to the very end.

- Vitaly, we do not see often defensemen behind the opponent’s net. Nevertheless, you made good assist to Timur.

- I played in that way because of the situation. Timur did a great job too.

- If we look at the stands… What is the most important thing for "Neftekhimik"?

- We should play efficiently and conscientiously and play to the very end.
