Postgame press conference. Spartak vs Traktor

Traktor was blanked by Spartak in Moscow. The head coaches of both teams sumed up the game and addressed the media.


The head coach of the Traktor Chelyabinsk, Vladimir Yurzinov:
I`d like to congratulate the Spartak team on the winning. We had the third away game. Unfortunately we didn`t move enough, Spartak moved and handled puck much better than we did. Stanislav Galimov kept us in the game. Of course, we had to score at least one goal to have had chances. Some of our important players got injured and didn`t took part in the trip. Mikheyev got a long term injury, Calof is sick. We don`t have that many players to replace them. Congratulations to Spartak one more time.

When will Shcherbak play?
I don`t think that it`ll happen soon, moreover Mikheyev got a long term injury.

What are the goals for the rest of the regular season?
We set only one goal - we need to try to win every game. We have serious opponents but there`s sometimes not enough here and there. We have our next game the day after tomorrow and we will be getiing ready. As I have already said, Spartak has been better today. 

The head coach of the Spartak Moscow, Oleg Znarok:
The first period was so-so as well as the previous game. Then we kind of pull ourselves together. We played smarter and scored when we had to. In general that`s it, everyone did a great job.

When Goncharov will be back to the lineup?
Maybe he`ll be back to the next game.

What about Malykhin?
Next game.
