— Did Mozyakin train you as a striker?
– Yes. He spent the last season during my first year in Magnitogorsk. We spent a lot of time on the ice when he was injured. He taught me where to shoot at the goalie, how to hit him, and that continued last season.

— Everyone understands what a big deal the league is facing. It is a pleasure to play against such masters. Even when you sit and wait for a shift, you watch it and learn. I played against Pavel Datsyuk, against Ilya Kovalchuk. The more such people come to the KHL, the better for us, the league and the fans, ”Yurov told .
