Command Analysis

Avangard Omsk

Current form
Avangard faced the current Gagarin Cup winner Metallurg in the first round of the playoffs, and it seemed that the series could well drag on to seven matches. But Omsk came to the playoffs in excellent shape, which allowed them to avoid additional problems and close Metallurg with a score of 4.:2. The defensive line showed an excellent game, which allowed Magnitogorsk to score less than two goals per match on average.
The hawks also successfully started the quarterfinal series with Lokomotiv, defeating the opponent in the opening match with a score of 4:1. Goalkeeper Serebryakov showed a great game, reflecting 32 shots out of 33. It is difficult to single out any of the players more, since almost all distinguished themselves with effective actions. However, it turned out to be impossible to consolidate the success of visiting the railway workers. The opponent increased the pace in the attack, which Omsk were not ready for and were defeated by a three-goal difference (1:4). Serebryakov tried his best, but there were too many shots.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl

Current form
Throughout the season, Lokomotiv showed excellent play, which allowed it to occupy a leading position in the Western Conference table, as well as easily qualify for the playoffs and reach one of the main outsiders of the Gagarin Cup in the person of Torpedo. As expected, the railwaymen did not encounter much resistance from Nizhny Novgorod residents, ending the series without a single defeat (4:0). Yaroslavl also started the quarterfinals at home, where they showed a very active game in attack, but also allowed the Avant-Garde to create too many dangerous moments in their zone.
