Michael Garnett: good thing we opened the score. It was easy from this moment on

Another great performance from you tonight, Michael! Congratulations!
Thank you! I was hoping we would open the score, and that’s exactly what happened. Then we focused on the defense and counterattacks.

Avangard started off with a bang tonight. Did Traktor expect that?
Yes, we did. Avangard played at home, and it was their last opportunity to get back in it.

You must have heard about your record…
It’s a pleasant thing, because KHL has many skilled goaltenders, and it’s great to be one of them.
