It's not the world championship or Olympics. It's not the final. But still, it was a very important game for us and you have a chance. I'm glad it worked out for me.

It looks pretty grim but we're just trying to play desperate. We just have to try and win every game and see what happens at the end.

We're battling for a playoff spot and every game is important for us. The (next) three games, there's got to be no steps back. We have to go forward and win all those.

That was huge for us ... we needed the points and Eddie was there for us.

It's a great win to end the (calendar) year for our fans. I should have had another goal later in the game, but my stick snapped. Just to score a goal and win is great.

If Ukraine does not sign the contract for gas supplies in the hours remaining until the New Year, Russian natural gas supplies for Ukrainian consumers will be stopped at 10 a.m. Moscow time [7a.m. GMT]. The actions will be clear and decisive.
