The CSKA forward answered questions before the match with Salavat Yulaev.
— Despite the defeat in the last meeting, CSKA defeated Salavat and Kunlun at home, guaranteed a place in the playoffs. Can we say that the team's crisis is over?
— I believe that we have not completely overcome this moment yet. We work on our mistakes, analyze some moments. I think we will show our best game soon.
— In the last match against Salavat Yulaev, CSKA performed very well, but there was a slight decline in the third period. Did this nuance leave a trace or will everything be from scratch today?
— With the new match, everything will definitely be from scratch. Each game is different in its nuances. I think everything will be fine. The main thing is that we act competently.
— A busy calendar at the end of the season, a lot of matches with top teams. Can we call these games a rehearsal before the playoffs?
— Of course, now all the games and training sessions are a playoff rehearsal. We are preparing, we are trying.
