Reaktor Head Coach Igor Fyodorov speaks with the media after a following 3–1  win over Krylya Sovetov.

– First of all, I'd like to congratulate Neftekhimik Head Coach Igor Vladimirovich Grishin: during our game, he learned of the birth of his granddaughter! So we had no right to lose; we gave him a gift. Today's game was largely dictated by the way we played, especially in the second period, when we played in the offensive zone for five minutes. However, for some reason, we didn't shoot much... I can't help but mention our opponents. They blocked a lot of shots and created dangerous moments. Overall, I liked the way the guys moved. Yes, we switched to three lines as the game progressed. But we have no right to lose; the battle to qualify for the play-in is in full swing.
