Reaction following Russia U17's second successive victory against Belarus U18 away from home.
Russia U17 head coach Alexander Tomilov:
"We made changes to our lines following the first match. I'm pleased with how we competed over the 60 minutes, it was the complete performance without any poor periods of play. Nonetheless, we need to start converting our chances. The guys on the penalty kill were excellent, they tried hard and put their bodies on the line."
Russia U17 forward Anton Malinovsky:
"Yesterday's mistakes were corrected. In comparison to the first match, this time we were a lot better on the powerplay. The key is that we're winning the duels and driving to the net effectively. The Belarusians? Given that they're one year older than us, they are physically strong. They're battling hard. My goal? No one challenged me, I had time to pick my spot and I managed to score.
