After the match in Khabarovsk against Amur HC, in which CSKA achieved a 3-0 dry victory, CSKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov commented on the course of the meeting:
"As we expected, the hosts started quickly. It was very important to endure the first ten minutes of the match, we managed to do it. The specifics of the game in the Far East are always like this, it takes time to roll into the game. We had an exemplary second period in which we decided the outcome of the match, and our goalkeeper Dmitry Gamzin played well. We got a number of beautiful combinations and scored our goals."
