Command Analysis

Chelmet Chelyabinsk

Current form
Last season, the club was left outside the TOP-16 and intends to fulfill the management task and fight in the knockout matches. There can be no talk of winning the Petrov Cup, since the opponents from the upper part of the tournament table have a more powerful and balanced roster. So far, Chelyabinsk, in principle, copes with the task and in the last confrontations show confident and meaningful hockey, but the coaching staff needs to correct the mistakes in defense. Chelyabinsk was able to win 23 victories in 44 games and occupy 16th place in the tournament table. Of course, the team can play better, but it is necessary to correct the situation and start gaining the coveted points. In the last confrontation, Marat Askarov charges won a much-needed victory over AKM (4:3), and in the game before that they beat Voskresensk Khimik on the opponent ice (5:2). Chelmet scored 133 goals and has already suffered 21 failures. The team is just one point ahead of its rivals in the league top 16 and will need to work hard to secure its place in the playoffs.
