CSKA defenseman Nikita Nesterov shared his thoughts following their home win over Sibir.
What was behind the slow start tonight, and how were you able to turn the tide? CSKA clearly dominated the second period.
– We specifically practice the second period, it’s a whole different game. The guys did a great job sticking to the game plan, which allowed us to turn the tide and close out the game.
- Congratulations on reaching the 300-point milestone in the KHL! Do you keep track of your personal stats, and what do milestones like this mean to you?
– Yeah, for sure, it’s pretty big." I don't really follow along, though the boys gave me props. Sounds like they follow it way closer than I do (laughs). Personal milestones are great, but team wins mean way more. Just glad we got the two points tonight.
How do you sum up the game tonight? Are the boys happy with the effort, or do you still have things to clean up?
– We’ve got things to clean up. And we’re working on it every day.
