Halloween may be past, but Dinamo Minsk still living a nightmare!
In the midst of a 3-game road trip, Dinamo Minsk has dropped 9 games in a row and things likely won’t get easier against Metallurg, a team that doesn’t take kindly to losing at home. The other Dinamo, namely Riga, kicks off a short road trip in Sochi against a Sochi club that has won two in a row. Meanwhile, Amur wraps up a 4-game road trip against Avangard. Both teams will be looking to end losing streaks, with Avangard surely a tick more desperate to put a stop to their three losses in a row.
