The Red and white were able to deal with Dynamo Moscow on the road (5:3), after which they lost at home to Torpedo (0:1), and then again they beat Shanghai Dragons (3:1) and SKA (2:1). It is noteworthy that in the three previous matches there was no more than one puck in the net of their goal.

Current form

Lokomotiv is currently on the second line of the Western Conference and has earned a total of 65 points. The team is literally one point behind Severstal, but it will be very difficult for it to gain a foothold in the leading position, especially if it does not manage to gain stability. It should be noted that since the beginning of this year, Yaroslavl residents have only alternated successful fights with defeats and have not been able to get on a winning streak in any way, and they get all the victories with great difficulty.

The railwaymen had previously lost to Torpedo (0:3), then beat the Shanghai Dragons (2:0), and after another defeat from Nizhny Novgorod (1:3), they dealt with Dinamo Minsk with a score of 2 on their ice.:1. In the confrontation with the bison, they barely managed to avoid losing points, as Bob Hartley's team scored the decisive goal a few seconds before the final siren. It is noteworthy that in all previous meetings Loko demonstrated mediocre performance and, as a rule, opened the opponents' defense no more than once or twice. A positive moment for Yaroslavl is the recovery from injury of Egor Surin, who scored the winning goal in the last match.
