Torpedo has risen to fourth place in the West and may break into the top three in the very near future. The team led by Alexei Isakov has 62 points in its piggy bank after 48 games and is only two points behind the leading Dinamo Minsk. Gorky residents have gained excellent shape after not the most successful start to the new year. They won five matches in a row, playing against pretty strong teams. On the road, the Reindeer dealt with Spartak (1-0) and Lokomotiv (3:1), and at home they already defeated the Shanghai Dragons (7:2).
Already in the first period of the meeting against the Chinese, the hosts quickly seized the initiative and twice punished the opponent for deletions. Egor Vinogradov and Egor Sokolov provided their team with a comfortable advantage by halftime, and already in the second period Amir Garaev and Vasily Atanasov made the score devastating. The opponent scored two goals, but the Gorky team went into the third period charged and scored three more times.
Egor Vinogradov has consolidated his leadership in the club's goalscoring list. The forward has scored 38 goals (14+24) this season.

Current form
SKA dropped to the eighth position in the conference, missing the opportunity to get close to the leaders of the West. The Army team has earned 53 points in 46 matches and surpasses only CSKA in lost points. The team under the command of Igor Larionov performed well at the beginning of winter, but after the new year it does not perform very convincingly. In the home series, the red and blue did not score a single point, losing to Sochi (1:2), Dinamo Minsk (3:4) and Spartak Moscow (1:2).
Already in the fourth minute of the match against the Muscovites, SKA took the lead thanks to Nikita Nedopekin's goal. In the second segment, the teams threw a lot, but could not distinguish themselves. In the second half of the third 20 minutes, the red-blue defense crumbled. The Petersburgers conceded two goals in the end and ended up with no points scored.
Marat Khairullin remains the leader of the Petersburgers in the attack. He scored 33 points (11+21) in the goal+pass system.

2.45Tip and bets
Torpedo is in great shape and continues to win one meeting after another. Alexey Isakov's men play great defense and score quite a lot at home. SKA, on the other hand, is clearly not at ease, as evidenced by three consecutive defeats on their home ice. We think that the deer will dominate the court and, with the support of their native stands, will be stronger than the opponent.
Prediction - Torpedo wins with an Asian handicap (0) on goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
SKA is experiencing big problems in terms of the implementation of the moments. In two out of three matches, the Army team failed to score more than once, while they held their own pretty well. Torpedo is playing great defense at this stage of the season, but it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to throw too much into the gates of St. Petersburg. Let's bet on a total of fewer goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.85
