Artem Sergeyev: we’ve played our hockey in the third period

Our team defenseman commented on the victory over Severstal and spoke about the 350th game in the KHL.

- It was a difficult game. Our opponents were hot - before that Cherepovets had a winning streak of nine games in a row. Plus, we were playing after the break. When you play two months almost every other day and then have a week's break, it is felt like having a very long break. Today, of course, was not our best game. Especially in the first two periods. In the third frame, we played our own hockey. And praise God we won. Even if by a penalty shootout, the main thing was to get two points.

The goal scoring attack with me? Nothing special. The puck just bounced to me, I moved to the center, shot, and Pashka finished it.

What does the number of 350 games in the KHL mean to me? It feels good, of course, but I want more. I knew that I was somewhere close to that figure, but I had no idea that today was the anniversary game. I heard it during the game from the presenter in the arena.

What is waiting for us in the game against Dynamo? I think it will be an interesting game. Derby is the signboard. Probably the media will add more spice, people will come as much as it will be allowed due to the pandemic. "Dinamo probably want to take revenge for the defeat in the last game. And we'll do everything to win this game.
