Command Analysis
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
Russian FederationCurrent form
Salavat Yulaev, which finished its away series on a high note, faced difficulties at home. In the match against Ak Bars at their home arena, the Ufa team, despite a large number of shots on the opponent goal, could not achieve victory. Then the team went to Magnitogorsk, where one of the strongest opponents, Metallurg, awaited them. Stubborn efforts and struggle did not help the "greens" avoid a second defeat in a row - 2:4. This time, goalkeeper Samonov was not so confident, reflecting only 88% of the shots. In addition, the team showed insufficient activity in the attack, which deprived it of the opportunity to turn the tide of the match.
However, Salavat Yulaev managed to redeem itself in front of the fans at home. The team showed a reliable game and won a confident victory over Amur with a score of 3:0. Goalkeeper Vyazovoy demonstrated a great game, reflecting 32 shots and recording a "dry" match. In the return match with the Khabarovsk team, the club did not play so confidently and almost suffered a defeat to the obvious outsider, but due to a very high attack performance, they snatched a victory in overtime (5:4). The most productive was forward Livo, who scored a hat-trick. So far, Kozlov charges have not been able to take first place in the Eastern Conference table, having the same number of points as Traktor.

Severstal Cherepovets
Russian FederationCurrent form
It is unlikely that anyone expected that Severstal would get into such great shape after a long slump and beat all opponents on its way. The team winning streak has already reached six matches, all of which were held at home and ended in regulation time. What is especially noteworthy is that the team beat not only obvious outsiders, but also the leaders of the KHL. The Cherepovets team, thanks to a very reliable defense, was able to snatch a victory from Traktor with a score of 2:1. Goalkeeper Shostak showed an excellent game, reflecting 96% of shots.
The "steelworkers" also dealt with another clear favorite in the person of "Avtomobilist", winning with a difference of one goal (3:2). It is impossible not to note the efforts of the first line forward Aymurzin, who scored twice. The club achieved its sixth victory in a row in a duel with "Neftekhimik", defeating the opponent with a score of 4:1. This time the most productive was the forward Kruchinin, who also scored twice. Thanks to the large number of points scored, the club was able to seriously strengthen its position in the playoff zone and is currently in sixth place in the Western Conference table.
