Artemiy Knyazev and Vasily Ponomarev speak about the third victory against HC Sochi

Both Artemiy Knyazev and Vasily Ponomarev spoke to the media after the under 20 Russian Olympic team managed to beat HC Sochi for the third time in as many matches at the 2020 Sochi Hockey Open.

Defenseman Artemiy Knyazev:

- We were a bit relaxed in the closing stages of the game. The coaches told us to continue playing for the entire 60 minutes, but we didn't quite stick to the plan. The main thing is not to relax in the future.

Forward Vasily Ponomarev:

- We are trying out different line combinations in order for all of us to build up mutual understanding for the future. Was my goal beautiful? I personally think that it was a normal goal. I liked how Andrei Kuzmenko scored for SKA Saint Petersburg yesterday, so I tried to do the same thing.
