Press Conference «Neftekhimik – Lokomotiv» 12/04/2022

– It was a hard game for us. We missed counter-attacks at the beginning of the second period and conceded quick goals. In compare with our opponent, we looked tired. As it says, you need to learn from your failures. We have two important games before the break.

– Does the trip to the Far East still affect the team?

– Yeah, in some way. All the team are going through this during the season that is why it is okay.

– Do not you think that Neftekhimik is going to the next bottom?

– I do not think that we have some kind of failure or bottom. Yeah, there are ups and downs but nothing else. I am sure that we will prepare for the next game and everything will be fine.

Igor Nikitin, the head coach of HC Lokomotiv:

– We scored good goals. The most important thing is that these goals made the difference in the game. Our pk unit and goaltender did a great job.
