Jokerit is back in action at home and looking to take its 3rd win in a row!

Jokerit’s opponent will be a Spartak team that, despite a recent loss, has picked things up since a pretty dreadful start and has a red-hot Lehtera in its line-up (11 points in the last five games). Amur will kick the day off with the end game of a back-to-back against Torpedo and is looking for revenge after the tight 3-2 OT loss in the last game.

Severstal has looked very human in recent contests and now heads to Novosibirsk for a tilt against a Sibir team that itself is in need of some consistency.

There’ll also be plenty of hockey in Moscow this evening as Vityaz looks to continue its 2-game winning streak against visiting Lokomotiv while league titan CSKA (talk about a train that keeps on rolling) hosts Dynamo Moscow. Will the hot home teams prevail in these heavy matches?
