Avtomobilist head coach Bill Peters summed up the results of the meeting with Spartak (1: 0): “Today was a very good match, both teams showed a good level. In the second period, in the majority of « Spartak » created several chances, disturbed our goalkeeper. In the third period, we played stricter and brought things to a victory. We tried to do the right things on the ice, worked well in the minority. Yasha did a good job again, leaving the gate dry. Pavel Datsyuk has enough strength to play in the minority and majority. Brooks Maysek left, and the situation developed in such a way that Paul had to be involved in the minority. We had a plan to put Gross in a second doubles match with Jokerit. He did an amazing job, he worked the match to the fullest. I liked the way he played. We will definitely use it in the next matches, as we have a very tight schedule. At the pre-match training, a player was injured, I had to release Sexton, who was supposed to have a day off, ”the KHL press service quotes Peters as saying.
