Shanghai Torpedo Dragons. Betting Tip (cf 1.72) and bets on the KHL match

Current form

The Shanghai Dragons dropped to eighth place in the conference and will now try to at least stay in the playoff zone. The Chinese team scored 35 points in 32 attempts and is now only two points ahead of CSKA, but has one game left. Gerard Galland's team looked good in the middle of last month, but they did not manage to finish the autumn well. On the road, the Dragons lost to Traktor (0:9), Neftekhimik (5:7) and Ak Bars (1:4) and returned home in a bad mood. They managed to improve it thanks to a 3-2 home win over Salavat Yulaev in the last game.

In the second minute of the match, Borna Rendulic led his team ahead, but the Yulaev team quickly recovered. In the second 20 minutes, Nathan Susese scored the long-awaited goal and the hosts went on the defensive. They were outnumbered in the first half of the third leg of the match, and after 40 seconds Kevin Labank brought victory to his partners.

Defender Nick Merkley still leads the team's scoring list. He scored 26 points (13+13) this season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Jake Bischoff and Jeremy Grolo will not play in the next match.

Current form

Throughout the regular season, Torpedo players are among the best clubs in the West and now they occupy the fourth position in the conference. Alexey Isakov's team had a good opportunity to bypass Lokomotiv, but due to poor results, Nizhny Novgorod residents may be relegated to fifth place. They have scored 43 points in 34 games and are just one point ahead of Dynamo Moscow. The Gorky team had a strong first half of November, but now they have only two wins in six starts. At the start of the new calendar month, the Reindeer lost to the blue and white in Moscow (0:4), but beat CSKA a day later (5:4, B).

Torpedo lost to the red-blues after the first period, but in the second 20 minutes Vladislav Firstov and Maxim Letunov brought their team ahead in just a few minutes. Alexey Kruchinin's squad could not hold the advantage until the break, and at the beginning of the final third of the game they missed again. Vladimir Tkachev and Nikita Shavin corrected the situation in a minute and the visitors led again, but missed again in the middle of the period. In the shootout, the goalkeepers were good, but the Nizhny Novgorod attackers turned out to be a little more skilled.

Egor Vinogradov (9+13) shares the lead in the goalscoring race with Alexey Kruchinin (6+16). The captain is injured, so the young striker has to get around him.

Disqualifications and injuries

Alexey Kruchinin and Shane Prince will not play in St. Petersburg.
