CSKA head coach Igor Nikitin summed up the game against the Avtomobilist.
– A disappointing outcome. Lesson learned. Take the hit, think it over, and move on.
– You had a good start to the game and played pretty well in the second. What was missing in the third?
– It's a three-period game, you need to start strong and finish stronger.
– A 12-game winning streak snapped last game. Did you feel like the team came out extra motivated early on to bounce back from that loss?
– The father didn't scold his son for losing, but for chasing his losses. Don't chase the game. Just play your game, trust the process, and do what you do best.
