"In general I am satisfied with my journey since it was good experience", said Zhevnov to Sport Express.

"The club’s general director was very surprised when he learnt that I have a running contract with Lokomotiv."
"My future teammate Alexander Ovechkin was absolutely sure saying that I would come to the team this summer."
