— Yes, few people expected Avtomobilist to win two away matches. The team has changed, it plays with a lot of confidence, it has its fist on the ice, it is monolithic and charged. In the person of goalkeeper Evgeny Alikin, Avtomobilist’s field players gain confidence and reliability.
— Will the elimination of SKA cause a sensation throughout the playoffs?
“If Avtomobilist passes, it will be a great sensation, because St. Petersburg has declared its claims to the Gagarin Cup,” Kanareikin told .
