Command Analysis

HC Chelny

Current form
Let us recall that the representative of Naberezhnye Chelny debuted at a new level last season and became the worst team of all the newcomers, and the last place speaks of the team unpreparedness for games with more powerful clubs. In the current championship, the coaching staff rotated the roster, brought order to all lines and fights on equal terms with more experienced and famous opponents. It is too early to talk about the playoffs, and the gap from the TOP-16 cannot be made up. The team was able to win 17 victories in 42 games and scored 111 goals, which speaks of a good attack line. In the last calendar confrontation, the team beat Neftyanik on the opponent ice, finishing the match with a score of 1:1, but in the shootout it was more accurate. The club could not cope with Bars at home (2:3) in the previous game, where the Chelny team missed the decisive goal in the final period. Alexander Sokolov team is in a modest 28th place in the tournament table and has only 36 points. The team has already suffered 25 defeats and missed 140 goals.

The squad is much weaker than many other opponents, and the club is not yet ready to fight for high places. The team has already suffered 31 defeats this season and conceded 145 goals, while winning 13 victories and scoring 97 goals. In the last game, Olimpia lost in another calendar confrontation to Bars (2:3), without winning in any of the periods.
