Command Analysis
Current form
In the regular season, SKA-Neva qualified for the playoffs only on the last game day, having received one of the most stable teams in the VHL. The Army team lost the first meeting in Tyumen, then took three matches in a row, and then exchanged victories with Rubin and for the first time in history sent their opponent on vacation after the first round. However, after the success in the 1/8 finals in the quarterfinal series, the squad is not doing well at all. The team conceded 11 goals in two games against Khimik, scored only four goals and lost 0:2 in the series. The coaching staff, led by Nikolai Voevodin, should make changes to the game of their players before home games, give a difficult fight to the Resurrection team and keep the intrigue in the confrontation. The club lost the first match 2:5, and in the second match it was even bigger 2:6 and can follow the main team of St. Petersburg to prepare for the next season.
