Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg

Current form
Avtomobilist has been on the decline for a long time, and the series of defeats has reached four consecutive matches, all of which ended in regular time. However, in defense of the club, it is worth saying that he met with the strongest opponents in the league and did not have enough strength to win. The main problem was the low performance in the attack, which led to defeats from Metallurg (1:3), Dynamo Moscow (1:4) and Ak Bars (1:3). Returning to their home arena, Yekaterinburg were still able to give a decent rebuff to CSKA and almost made a comeback in the third period, but still lost in regular time with a difference of only one goal (3:4).
As expected, the team was able to break its streak of failures in the duel with Torpedo. Once again, the Car performed in its native walls, where it took advantage, winning with a score of 2:1.

Due to its decline, the team dropped to the fourth place in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the second position is only three points.

Even home walls do not help Sochi residents to achieve success. With the support of his fans, he was able to give a decent rebuff only to Avangard, but allowed him to equalize in the third period and was defeated in overtime (2:3). Once again, the defensive line failed, which allowed Omsk to create a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone.
