Metallurg is on a 3-game winning streak and hosts Vityaz, which just got back into the win column, while Salavat hosts Traktor, with each team coming in off a frustrating loss.
Amur has quickly fallen back to its losing way, but maybe that’ll change as the head to Nizhny Novgorod to face Torpedo, which itself is on a 4-game losing streak. Yikes!
Lastly, Dynamo Moscow has bounced back from 0-3 start into the season with four straight wins. It takes its show to Sochi, surely feeling very confident about making it five.
