Dynamo Moscow faces Spartak again with 6 straight wins in the pocket!

They’re one of the league’s hottest teams and now they’re facing a Spartak club they recently whooped 5-0. Is a repeat to be expected tonight?

Avtomobilist has uncharacteristically lost two in a row, yet hopes to spoil Sibir’s first of four straight home games. A good handful of players will be looking to set some new personal records while Pavel Datsyuk shoots to put up a point or more for the eighth straight game.
