The standings are almost 50 points apart, the Southerners looked very decent and caused a lot of trouble to the defense and the goalkeeper of the railwaymen. The game was a benefit for Lokomotiv's Slovak legionnaire Richard Panik, who earned scoring points for all three of Yaroslavl's productive actions – he scored two goals himself, and assisted defenseman Alexei Bereglazov in the third. Lokomotiv confidently leads the Western Conference with 91 points after 63 games. The closest pursuers have already fallen behind quite noticeably: Dinamo Minsk by eight points, Severstal by ten. Given the small number of matches remaining on the calendar, Yaroslavl's chances of winning the conference are undeniable.

The Cherepovets team, by the will of the calendar, holds two of its games in the tournament in a row against Lokomotiv - first on March 2 in Cherepovets, Yaroslavl won in a hard-fought battle (3:2, B) - and the next on March 7 in Yaroslavl. Thus, the steelworkers got a five-day window in their work schedule and had the opportunity to prepare in detail for a meeting with a well-known opponent.

The team has been very successful this season, coming third in the West with 81 points, with excellent chances to start at least the first round of the playoffs on its own court. In 22 matches played in 2026, Andrey Kozyrev's team scored 26 points. However, the goal difference in these matches is not quite typical for a team in a leading position: 68 goals scored, 72 conceded. In only one match out of 22, Cherepovets conceded less than two goals, and the average defensive strength is characterized by a figure of 3.27 goals per match. Probably, the coaching staff will pay attention to this circumstance on the eve of the start of the playoff round. In the meantime, Severstal's main striking force is forward Ruslan Abrosimov, who started his career in big-time hockey at the Lokomotiv school. He scored 23 goals and 24 assists for 47 points. He also has one of the best performance indicators in the team – plus 15.
