Command Analysis

Dynamo St. Petersburg Juniors

Current form
In the last game of the quarterfinal series of the Kharlamov Cup, the team failed to cope with the defense of the red and white, and it was not possible to hit the opponent's goal. It is worth noting that the club from St. Petersburg had scored goals in 10 face-to-face games in a row before this match with Spartak. Nevertheless, the minimum task has been completed. Igor Efimov's team won one victory from Moscow. The series has moved to the banks of the Neva River, and it will most likely be easier there with the support of its fans, and the native arena will drive forward. It should be noted that in the first match of the series, Dynamo lost twice during the game, but in the end they brought the match to a series of post-match shots and won. In the second confrontation, the squad could not control their nerves. Two missed goals in the first period played an important role in the defeat, and a couple more goals in the final half decided the outcome of the last battle – 0-4 in the end. The series is 1-1 and there are two home matches ahead.

MHC Spartak

Current form
Spartak outplayed the opponent in the second game and equalized the score in the series. We should note striker Georgy Ovchinnikov, who scored a double, and goalkeeper Yaroslav Kuzmenko, who played for zero and deflected 22 shots at his own goal. As in the previous confrontation, the Muscovites scored first and, despite a few double-edged moments, the hosts were more active than the opponent, and two minutes before the end of the first period they scored the second goal. The second 20 minutes was memorable for the mutual deletions and did not bring any changes to the score. In the final segment, the red and white hit the opponent's goal twice and increased the lead to four goals. As a result, 4:0 and 1:1 in the series. Let's recall that the first match of the confrontation ended in a shootout in favor of Dynamo (3:4). The Muscovites missed a two-goal advantage in the second period, after which the visitors moved the match to overtime and took the first match of the series.
