Current form
The current VHL championship is not going well for the Krasnoyarsk club, and the team will be left without knockout matches and for the second year in a row will not make a sensation by getting into the playoff zone at the very end of the championship. Let us recall that last season it was Sokol that closed the TOP-16 at the very last moment. The birds look weak, the defense is a complete mess, and in the final stage the game is not going at all. In 46 past games the club won 14 victories, and in the last eight matches it cannot win in regulation time. Sokol played the last match on home ice and suffered a defeat from AKM (1:2), which was the 32nd for the team this season. Also, the Krasnoyarsk team lost the previous match with a score of 3:4 to Khimik Voskresensk, not putting up enough resistance to the opponent during the game. At this stage, the team is in a modest 31st place in the tournament table and has 36 points to its credit, ahead of the last Unison by only seven points, and the top 16 in this championship is not reached.
