Anvar Gatiyatulin: it was a game between equal opponents

Valeri Belov, Vityaz head coach:
Congratulations to Traktor on tonight’s win. I’ll cut it short – we lost because we played poorly in shorthanded and power play. Other than that, I think it was an equally matched game.

Anvar Gatiyatulin, Traktor head coach:
I agree – it was a game between equal opponents. I would like to thank my team for their will to win and our fans for their support. Tonight, they were our sixth skater as usual.

Question to Gatiyatulin: Are you satisfied with tonight’s power play performance?
Gatiyatulin: We keep working on this aspect, but we will see when the season ends.

Question to Gatiyatulin: Why has Pankov missed two games?
Gatiyatulin: Those who are currently the best are on the lineup.
