Current form
At the start of the championship, Zvezda showed brilliant results and was the leader of the VHL for some time. However, Rinat Khasanov charges slowed down and gradually fell to the middle of the tournament table, showing not entirely confident results. At this stage, the team from Moscow seems to have corrected the situation, won three victories in five past matches, occupies the 15th place in the tournament table and is located in the zone of the 16 best teams of the league. However, the squad position is shaky, since the catchers are not lagging behind and are nipping at their heels. In the last confrontation, the army team met away with Dynamo St. Petersburg and suffered a defeat from the leader with a score of 2:3, having missed the decisive goal 40 seconds before the final siren. The game before, the team had a goal shootout with the opponent in Kurgan, having beaten Zauralye 5:7 in the end. In 44 confrontations, the CSKA farm club won 24 victories with 20 defeats, scored 144 goals and missed 129 goals.
