Avangard head coach Bob Hartley:

«We all understood the importance of today`s game and I have to give credit to my entire team, everyone got in the  ice on a  mission , like defensively we were very strong , offensively  we had a lot of different players that put their numbers on the scoresheet , but more importantly everyone played a  great game . We were very discipline,

We respected a game plan to the letter; Bobkov came up with some big saves at the right time, 3 strong period and big road win for us. »

Salavat Yulaev head coach Nikolay Tsulygin:

«Congrats on the win. We started pretty well, played well offensively, but we did not manage to use our moments and completely forgot about our defense – we wanted to score very bad. But as always, you need to play on both sides – defense and offence.  Today we started from the offence and that is why missed some very important goals. Right after that we could not come back to the game. Unfortunately, we missed 2 pucks in the second period. On the 3^rd stanza we came out to play for our fans with a huge willing to win. We fought until the end. »
