Steel Foxes Are Polar Bears. Betting Tip (cf 1.81) and bets on the MHL match

The Steel Foxes steadily earned points throughout the regular season, avoiding protracted slumps, so they were able to finish the regular season in second place in the Eastern Conference Silver Division table. The club could well have competed for the lead, but literally three points were not enough to achieve this goal. Magnitogorsk came to the playoffs in excellent shape, but in the opening match of the series with the Polar Bears they met fierce resistance and were one step away from defeat, as they allowed their opponent to even the score right at the last second of the meeting. It came to a shootout, where they managed to snatch Victoria with a final score of 5:4.

The Polar Bears had to go through the play-in stage in order to get a ticket to the Kharlamov Cup. The team fought a very serious opponent in the person of Loko-76 and in the opening match with great difficulty pulled out Victoria in overtime (2:1). Returning to their home arena, Chelyabinsk again failed to realize their attacking potential to the fullest, but due to high-quality defensive play, they managed to consolidate their success and once again defeated Yaroslavl in extra time (2:1). In the first series of the playoffs, the Bears fought a clear favorite in the face of the Steel Foxes and forced a very worthy fight on them. Shulg's team demonstrated a very active game in attack, creating constant pressure on the opponent, but in the end they still had to suffer an insulting defeat in a shootout (4:5). Goalkeeper Podomatsky showed his worst side, reflecting only 86% of shots.
