Match announcement
HC Dynamo Moscow
Russian FederationCurrent form
The Dynamo team has gained excellent game form and is quickly climbing the Western Conference table. Alexey Kudashov team currently has a series of seven games with points scored, with the "white-blues" winning six of those games. The hosts are in sixth place, having scored 26 points in 21 games. Only three points separate the Muscovites from the top three in the West. In the last away series, Nikita Gusev team showed a strong defensive game and achieved positive results in Nizhny Novgorod (3:2, B), Yaroslavl (3:4, B) and Yekaterinburg (2:1). The capital hockey players were very close to victory over the "railwaymen", but could not hold out in the end. On the ice of the VTB Arena, Dynamo confidently beat Amur (1:0) and Vityaz (2:1).
As we said earlier, the "Dynamics" have greatly improved their reliability and have conceded only two goals in the three previous matches. Maxim Motorygin has become a solid number one for the "Capitals". The young goalie has reflected 93.85% of shots on his goal and has made three shutouts in 13 starts. The captain of the hosts has shown himself to be the best in attack. Nikita Gusev has made 18 effective actions (7+11) and is in 23rd place in the KHL scorers list.

The home team centers remain among the best in the league at the point at the moment.
Torpedo
Russian FederationCurrent form
Torpedo had a very strong stretch from the end of September, but by the middle of last month the Nizhny Novgorod team gradually deflated. Igor Larionov charges had been collecting points for ten games in a row, but now the visitors have four defeats in a row in regulation time. Due to such weak results, the Gorky team has slid to eighth place in the West, with 23 points after 22 games. The "Deer" began to crumble in the away series, when they first beat Neftekhimik (3:1), but then let the game in Ufa go (4:5). Returning home, the Volga team suffered three crushing defeats. The Torpedo team looked weak in attack and could not cope with Vityaz (1:2), CSKA (1:3) and Dynamo Minsk (2:5).
For a long time, Torpedo was the most scoring team in the league. Now the Nizhny Novgorod team is going through a very difficult period and in the last three games they have only made four accurate shots. 18-year-old Nikita Artamonov demonstrates adult hockey and is the guest leader in terms of points scored. The forward is in seventh place in the list of the most productive players in the league with 20 points (11+9).
Let note the weak play of the "deer" in defense at this stage. Ivan Kulbakov has allowed nine goals in the last two starts. His namesake Ivan Bocharov was slightly better and took the puck out of his net five times in the two previous matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrei Belevich and Igor Larionov will not help their partners in the away match against Dynamo.
Interesting trends for betting
- Torpedo wins only 46.5% of faceoffs
The visitors are not as successful at the point and win less than half of their face-offs.
- The Deer earn an average of 8.55 penalty minutes per game.
The guests try to violate the rules of the game as little as possible, but Igor Larionnov charges do not always succeed.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
Four of the last five matches in Moscow began with a scoreless first period
1.85Bet 3rd period: home team with handicap (0)
Dynamo has not lost in the third periods for four games in a row
1.53Tip and bets
Dynamo is in great shape, and we think that the hosts will be able to extend their winning streak at home. Alexey Kudashov charges have stopped making stupid mistakes in defense and have started to regularly achieve the desired result. Torpedo has lost a lot. Without good realization of the moments, the visitors have stopped scoring points and have suffered several crushing defeats. Most recently, the Muscovites beat the "deer" in Nizhny Novgorod, but then Nikita Gusev team managed to do this only after the end of the regular time. Now the "white-blues" will play at home, where they feel even more comfortable. We suggest betting on the victory of the first team within 60 minutes.
Our prediction is Dynamo victory at 1.88
Bet on total
Dynamo stopped making mistakes on their half of the court, and Maxim Motorygin continues to improve with each match. The White-Blues have slowed down a bit in terms of scoring, but this is not so important, because Alexey Kudashov charges are gaining points. Torpedo players have played very poorly in attack in recent matches and are unlikely to improve sharply in Moscow. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals for 1.85
Bet on individual total
The Nizhny Novgorod team scored only four goals in the three previous matches, although the visitors were the better team in terms of scoring before that. The "Dynamics" practically do not concede and in the current home series of games they allowed only two goals in 120 minutes. We do not think that Vyacheslav Voynov team is capable of scoring at least three times.
Forecast - individual total of "Torpedo" less than 2.5 goals for 1.65
