Amur vs Torpedo: KHL Match Preview and Prediction

Current Form

Amur is sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with just six points to their name. Given their roster and offensive performance, the team's current position is certainly unsatisfactory. Andrei Martemyanov and his coaching staff find themselves in a challenging situation but have opted to delay resigning. Following a streak of three losses, Khabarovsk managed to secure a hard-fought 3:2 victory against Vityaz. Once again, their key players like Galchenyuk, Brosso, Durando, and Lee remained scoreless, but Kirill Slepets shone with a notable double.

This victory was crucial for Khabarovsk from a psychological standpoint, but they need to build on this success by defeating Torpedo. At the post-match press conference, Martemyanov expressed his dissatisfaction with the physical condition of a few players, though he did not disclose any names. Additionally, the team continues to struggle with their power play, achieving a mere 6.7% success rate.
