Current form

Metallurg confidently occupies the first place in the East, but gradually begins to feel the pressure of the Avant-Garde, which is still five points behind. The Foxes have earned 60 points in 38 matches and are one of the most stable teams in the league. The Steelers lost two out of five meetings, but they looked pretty good after the break. They defeated Sochi (6:1) and Traktor (7:4), won against Neftekhimik (4:3, B), but could not put the squeeze on Avangard (1:2, B).

In the game against Omsk, Andrei Razin's team looked a little more interesting than their opponent and they managed to open the scoring at the beginning of the second leg of the match. Luke Johnson was at the forefront of the attack and led his team forward, but the Urals did not have enough for more. They conceded at the very beginning of the third 20 minutes and only Raul Iskhakov managed to make his attempt in the shootout. As a result, Magnitogorsk lost to a direct competitor in the conference.

Vladimir Tkachev leads the list of the league's top scorers. The striker has scored 47 goals (9+38) this season.
