Barys is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference table with 47 points after 61 meetings. Despite the generally disappointing January-February results, which do not allow us to qualify for the playoffs this season either - 11 points in 19 matches (3-11-5), the goal difference is 34-54 - the team's desire to fight to the end is noticeable.

In February's five-match home series, after losing to SKA (0:5), Astana defeated Lada (5:3) and then were literally one step away from victory in three matches, but each time they lost in extra time: Metallurg (2:3, OT), Shanghai Dragons (3:4, OT) and Severstal (2:3, FROM). The game against Spartak on February 28 started encouragingly for Barys. The team moved well, won the fight, Riley Walsh and Mike Vecchione made the score 2-0 in the first period. However, the final siren recorded the score 5-3 in favor of the guests, despite Riley Walsh's second goal in the third period. Unfortunately, we still lack the skills. We score two or three goals each, but for some reason it's difficult for us to score more," Mikhail Kravets, Barys' mentor, gave the game such a comment after the match.
