Command Analysis

HC Chelny

Current form
It should be recalled that the representative of Naberezhnye Chelny made his debut at a new level last season and became the worst team of all newcomers, and the last place indicates that the team is not ready for games with more powerful clubs. In the current championship, the coaching staff has rotated the squad, cleaned up all the lines and the club began to look much better in the game with experienced and renowned rivals. It's too early to talk about the playoffs, and you can't beat the gap from the TOP 16. The team managed to win 20 victories in 50 games and scored 125 goals, which indicates a good line of attack. In the last calendar match, the team lost on someone else's ice to AKM (2:4). The game before, the residents of Naberezhnye Chelny could not cope with the Voskresensk Khimik (2:3 OT), where they led 2-0 in the score after the second period, but they did not retain the advantage. The wards of Alexandra Sokolov are in a modest 28th place in the standings and have only 43 points in their assets. The squad has already suffered 30 defeats, and the Canines have conceded 158 goals.

At this stage, the Tambov team is on the 13th line in the standings, but the positions are too shaky, as those catching up with the TOP 16 are on their heels and not lagging behind. The club looks on equal terms with stronger rivals and provides them with proper resistance. Tambov started the away series of games with a defeat against Kazan Bars. The match was dictated by the home team, and after the second period, Tambov was already losing by two goals and could not even the score – 2:3 in the end.
