— We go from match to match, so we have to improve everything. From attack to defense. Yes, sixth place (in the Western Conference) does not suit us. But it’s like that. We work. We don’t think about our place in the standings, we just prepare game by game and try to win every game.
— Does the absence of (head coach Sergei) Fedorov affect the team?
— Speaking specifically about the game, our tactics haven’t changed. We play how we play. The coaching team knows what needs to be done,” Nesterov told .
