Current form

Lada is in last place in the West and by the end of the year is the weakest team in the KHL. Togliatti have scored only 26 points in 39 games and are conceding more than other clubs in the league. The Owls are in bad shape and have managed to score only one victory in the previous nine matches. After the success in St. Petersburg in the match with Shanghai Dragons (4:2), Pavel Desyatkov's team were defeated in Minsk (2:7), and then returned home and lost to Traktor (1:6). Before the train to Yekaterinburg, the Volga team managed to score one point in Omsk in the game with Avangard (3:4, B).

Few people believed in the success of the guests in the duel against Omsk, but Lada performed very well. In the middle of the meeting, Riley Savchuk led his team ahead, but the car factory workers were not happy for long and could not take a break in the lead. Already in the third period, Artur Tyulin and Andrey Altybarmakyan scored twice, but the hawks constantly compared the score. In the shootout, the Tolyatti team failed to score, so they left with only one point in their piggy bank.

Dmitry Kugryshev has not scored points in three matches. He remains the best in the club's goalscoring list with 23 points (5+18).
