Salavat Yulaev head coach Nikolay Tsulygin:

«Congrats on the win. We did pretty well on the first period, skated well. Unfortunately, the second stanza we played not as we planned and as a result, he became decisive in this game. We will analyze this game and will be preparing for the next one.»

Avangard head coach Bob Hartley:

«We played a very good play offs game, very impressed with the focus, the discipline and also the execution. Second period was obviously our best period. Once we scored that goal the D challenge the offside we countered back with the PP goal. I feel that basically we broke their back, we knew that they could come back but suddenly, if that goal would have been offside it would be a huge difference. Suddenly it gives us 2 goals. So our PP executed very well. Bobkov, once against, what can we say more about Igor. He was very strong in net for us. It is a big team win for us,   but it is only one win of four. It is a lot of hockey to be played.»
