«»It was a very even, intense game. Torpedo was leading, then we were. It's good that we managed to take two points. Of course, the emotions for the match with SKA remained. Our next opponent is very strong, we have a lot of emotions for him. Maxim Tsyplakov's goal turned out to be brilliant? Well, yes, it turned out well. Max skated great to the far corner, he managed to pass the puck. He was all alone there, all that was left was to accurately pass the ball so that the goalie wouldn’t intercept it. As for the new attendance record for Spartak’s home matches, It's great that the fans come to support us, it's a complete pleasure to play in front of full stands. We didn't let us down today, we hope that it will continue to be the same. When a team wins and plays well, then the fans, accordingly, catch up,» Loktionov said.
In the match with Torpedo, Spartak forward Alexander Belyaev scored a goal. This puck became his debut in his KHL career.
“»Sasha Belyaev is great. It took him a long time to get his first goal in the KHL, he works hard in training, tries hard. It didn’t work out before, but today he finally scored. I think it will be easier for him to play in the future,» — added Loktionov.
