Elsewhere, Dinamo Minsk now has two wins to kick off the season (didn’t see that much last year), but so too does visiting Salavat, whose two victories both actually came on the ice. Also streaking is Avangard, which has won its first two games of the season, both at home. They’ll host an Amur team that has gone winless in two contests this season.
Wrapping things up will be “reigning champion” CSKA, which will host Barys, a team that the Muscovites surprisingly haven’t had much luck against in recent KHL outings.
