Omskie Krylia

Current form
It will not be easy to fight for a place in the playoffs of the Petrov Cup in the current VHL draw and the set task, most likely, will not be achieved for several seasons in a row. It seems that the team is fighting with opponents at the proper level, fulfilling the developed game plan, but in some moments there is a lack of skill in the final stage. In the last confrontation, Omskie Krylia were unable to win over the Condors from Rostov-on-Don. The Omsk team completely failed the game and suffered a crushing defeat. The match ended with a confident victory for Rostov 7:2, which once again indicates that the club from Omsk is not fully ready for the championship. At this stage, the team has 14 wins and 19 losses, 21 points in the asset and an intermediate 25th place in the standings. The battle for the top 16 zone is still ahead, and Ramil Saifulin charges have a theoretical chance to climb there if they straighten out their situation and start winning. The gap to Buran, who are closing the playoff zone, is eight points, which will not be easy to make up.
