Kunlun also got back into the win column as well and is hoping to take advantage of a Sochi team that’s had a rough go of it this season. Spartak Moscow hosts Neftekhimik, loser of three straight, and Dinamo Minsk will host Dynamo Moscow, both winners of two in a row, in what will cap off the day’s action. It should be a doozy!
