Command Analysis

Kuznetskie Medvedi

Current form
The youth team of Novokuznetsk Metallurg in the MHL championship has the task of maintaining registration in the Golden Division of the Eastern Conference and at this stage is in the top eight. The last championship showed that the club can fight and act on equal terms with stronger opponents. In the regular season, the team is dragging itself along in the basement of the tournament table. Kuznetsk Bears approach this match motivated to win, since they lost in the last home match. In the last game, the club lost to the leader Tolpar (3:4), where it was unable to equalize the score and transfer the game to the extra period. The game before, Sergei Chubykin team beat Sibirskie Snipers (4:3 OT), showing a brilliant game in all lines. It is worth noting that the team is famous for its ability to make powerful attacks and quick counterattacks, but cannot boast of productivity in the current season - only 89 goals have been scored. The penultimate place in the Golden Division speaks of a low level of play, but the team is clearly determined to continue the fight for the play-in.
