Jokerit heads home to face off against Lokomotiv on Halloween’s night!

They took them down earlier this season and now they’re looking to do it again. Both teams are coming in off a loss. Elsewhere, league leader CSKA heads up to Novosibirsk to take on a Sibir club that is on a 5-game winning streak. It’s looking like quite the match-up!

Severstal kicks off a 2-game road trip in against Spartak in Moscow. The number 5 is of importance to both teams, but for opposite reasons as Spartak has won 5 in a row; Severstal has lost 5 in a row. On streaks of a different kind, Barys takes its 3-game losing streak into its home game against Avtomobilist, which has gone from early season upstart to the loser of 7 straight contests. Yikes!

Kunlun has managed to stay very hot on the road, having now won 4 in a row. The Red Star visit Nizhny Novgorod to take on a Torpedo club that is coming off a recent home win. Featuring the exact same records, Dynamo Moscow has a 4-game winning streak as it concludes a 2-game homestand against rival Salavat against whom they’ve been on the short end of some tight games over the last 4 meet-ups.
