Evgeny Kuznetsov: "The best present is the win and a clean sheet"

Forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, who is celebrating his birthday, spoke to the press after defeating Switzerland 3:0 at the 2019 IIHF World Championship:

- Yes, I felt a bit nervous, and I am sorry if I offended anyone by not replying to the birthday messages. I want to thank everyone for their wishes. For me, the best present is the win and a clean sheet. I am really happy with how we played shorthanded, the guys on the penalty kill did a fantastic job. This was an important game for us.
