Match announcement

Vityaz

Current form
Vityaz had been in a slump for a long time, losing six games in a row. However, the team managed to turn the tide at home, where they met one of the league outsiders, Sochi. The Podolsk team actively attacked and created many chances at the opponent goal, but the puck did not fly into the net. As a result, the match went into overtime, where the Bogatyrs won with a score of 2:1. After that, the team went on an away tour, where they met Lada and confidently beat them with a difference of four goals (6:2). Many players showed an excellent game, but the most productive were defenseman Stewart and forward Tsitsyura, who scored three points each.
Unfortunately, the team rise was short-lived. In the next match, Vityaz went to visit the leader of the Eastern Conference, Traktor, and was unable to withstand such a powerful onslaught from the opponent. The Bogatyrs tried to attack, but still lost by a minimal margin (3:4). Despite four missed goals, it is worth noting the play of goalkeeper Kareev, who repelled 32 shots and helped the team avoid a major defeat. Such a result was quite predictable, but the Bogatyrs were still able to show a decent fight, which once again speaks of their optimal form. Then the club went to visit an opponent of their level, Neftekhimik, where they once again showed excellent play in attack and took full advantage of the opponent problems, which allowed them to achieve success with a score of 4:3 and regain the lost points. In particular, it is worth praising forward Zased, who scored twice. It is worth noting, however, that the points scored have not yet helped the team get closer to the playoff zone, which is nine points behind.

At the moment, Vityaz has three players in the infirmary: Dar'in, Kalinin and Vashchenko.

HC Red Star Kunlun

Current form
Kunlun, on the contrary, had been in excellent shape for a long time and even managed to earn a winning streak of seven games in a row, which few could have expected from one of the main outsiders of the Western Conference. What is especially noteworthy is that Red Star even beat clear favorites such as Spartak and CSKA. However, such a long rise was replaced by a natural decline and now the club began to lose in every match. Kravets' charges went to visit Avangard, which had gained excellent shape, and were unable to cling to points, losing in regulation time (2:3). Once again, the defensive line showed its worst side, which allowed the Omsk team to create a huge number of dangerous moments in its zone, and it was possible to avoid a rout only due to the efforts of goalie Smith, who reflected 35 shots out of 38 in three periods.
Continuing their away series, the team met with Moscow Spartak again and could not prove their superiority over such a powerful competitor. There were huge problems with both creating and implementing moments in the attack, which ultimately led to a dry defeat (0:2). Out of 25 shots, not a single one reached the target. Then the club went to visit Severstal, where the situation repeated itself. Kunlun created many dangerous moments and constantly shot at the goal of the Cherepovets team, but the puck stubbornly did not fly into the target, which ultimately led to the second dry defeat in a row with a score of 0:3. Indeed, this season Red Star is experiencing serious problems with the effectiveness of the attack, which is one of the reasons for constant failures. At the moment, the club is in ninth place in the Western Conference table, but the gap from the closest competitor is too large.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kunlun has only two players in the infirmary: Jiang Fu and Sinyatkin.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Kunlun scores 2.44 goals per match
As we have already noted, Red Star cannot boast of their effectiveness.
- On average, a team receives nine penalty minutes per match.
The team also has problems with discipline, which leads to frequent removals.
