The striker of the CSKA club speaking about the preparation for the match with Dynamo Moscow and the improvements in the game of CSKA.
— The team returned to Moscow after the victory in Omsk. It was a day off — how did you spend it?
— As usual. I spent it with my family, got some sleep, then helped my wife with children. Ordinary everyday life as a whole.
— 4 matches have already been played with Dynamo. What will the match be like tomorrow? Did they lose the last game, did CSKA win?
— I think it will be an interesting game. They have a small rink, Dynamo players move a lot. It will be interesting for Dynamo and for CSKA — there is a large density in the standings. Everyone wants to take a higher place before the playoffs.
— Maxim Mamin also said that there is a smaller rink and the game is faster. Where are you more used to playing?
— To be honest, I'm more used to acting on small rinks. In particular, when in power play, such rinks are more comfortable, I am already used to it.
— CSKA has already had several games in a row without a single elimination — a very cool achievement. More recently, there were problems with this. How did you manage to improve this component so quickly?
— It's hard to say, they probably started moving more. We make minor fouls less — hence the improvements and this result.
