Ak Bars visiting Magnitogorsk looking for 16th season victory!

Ak Bars wraps up a 3-game road trip in Magnitogorsk as it chases CSKA in the standings. Dinamo Riga is completing a short 2-game homestand thoroughly intent on defeating Traktor for the second time this season.

Out east, Amur is wrapping up a 4-game homestand against a currently hapless Sochi club, hoping to give the southerners their 8th straight defeat. Speaking of out east, Dynamo Moscow is seeking to conclude its 3-game road swing in Vladivostok with its 3rd straight victory, something that a very hot Martin Bakos and his upstart Admiral club have no intention of allowing!
