Ivan Patrikhaev: Thanks to my partners and coaching staff for their trust

The Army team's defenseman scored his first KHL goal in the game against the Lada and shared his emotions about the victory. 

– We had two good periods. In the third we stemead off a little, but took a small step and won the game. This is the most important thing.

– Tell us about the emotions when you scored your first KHL goal.

– Thanks to my partners and the coaching staff for their trust. I would like to dedicate it to my family: my brother, mother, grandmother and grandfather, who, unfortunately, is no longer with me. Thanks to them, it’s all that I’m here and playing hockey at all.

— How do you like playing on the second defensive pairing with Vladislav Yeryomenko?

– The coach slot it. My job is to help the team.

— Will your physical preparation or game plan change in any way for the game against the Salavat Yulaev?

— We don’t care who we play, we will rely on our own game.
