Ilya Zinovyev: I think we were unlucky tonight

- It was my first game during this away series, so I did my best to perform well. We allowed an early goal in the first twenty; after that, we found our game and started taking a lot of shots. Some things were good tonight, some were not. I think that we were unlucky tonight; had we converted our scoring chances, we would have won this game.

Was it noticeable that Avangard was somewhat down after three straight home losses?
No. When you lose three home games in a row, you have to go out there and prove your worth. Actually, there were not that many fans at the arena tonight. Fans understand everything; when the team loses a lot, the fans lose their faith in the team.

Traktor soon faces Salavat and Magnitka. How will the team be preparing for these formidable opponents?
We will be back home, have some rest and then start training. Despite the fact that these teams are very strong, we need to get as much points as possible.
