Command Analysis

Zvezda Chekhov

Current form
At the start of the championship, the Star showed brilliant results, was the leader of the VHL and fought for the highest places in the regular season. However, Rinat Khasanov's team slowed down and gradually dropped to the middle of the standings and are currently fighting to retain their place in the TOP 16. Now the team from Moscow has found its game, won seven victories in the last ten matches, occupies the 13th place in the standings and is ahead of the catching-up clubs fighting for the playoff zone by five points. However, the squad's position is shaky, as the catch-up is not far behind and is on their heels. In the last confrontation, the Army team met at home with the Krasnoyarsk Falcon and won a much-needed victory with a score of 4:2, losing 1:2 after the second period. The team was able to resist Novokuznetsk Metallurg a game earlier, winning 3:2 in the end. In 56 confrontations, the Army team won 32 victories with 24 defeats, scored 182 goals and conceded 158 goals.

Norilsk

Current form
Norilsk lost its playing form a bit and was unable to defeat the regular season outsider from Moscow in the last game. The team met with Unison on the road. The match turned out to be the hardest for the team from Norilsk again. We played well, created a lot of scoring chances, but couldn't cope with the opponent's resistance. Norilsk scored three goals against the opponent, but conceded one more goal – 3:4 in total. A match earlier, Vladimir Gusev's team managed to earn precious points and strengthen their positions in the league. The team beat SKA-Neva (3:6). The club from Norilsk has won 34 victories since the beginning of the championship and lost 22 confrontations with 62 goals conceded. As a result, 71 points are in the asset and 11th place in the standings, but the gap from his opponent from Moscow is one point. The team scored 181 goals and does not intend to stay on the defensive in today's match.
