Command Analysis

Avangard Omsk

Current form
Avangard made a great start to the quarterfinal series, although they played on the road, where they were able to defeat Lokomotiv with a score of 4 in the first match.:1. It cannot be said that the entire defensive line showed an excellent game, as the opponent created quite a lot of dangerous chances, but could not realize them. Goalkeeper Serebryakov made a big contribution to the success, reflecting 32 shots out of 33, which did not allow Yaroslavl to catch on to the comeback. However, it was also not possible to play reliably in the return match, and the attacking line was unable to compensate for this disadvantage, which led to a defeat (1:4).
It seemed that by returning to their home arena, the hawks would once again prove their superiority over their competitor or at least give him a decent rebuff, but this did not happen. Goalkeeper Serebryakov played one of the most unsuccessful matches this season, deflecting only 80% of shots, which led to a complete defeat with a score of 2:6.
