Two games in light KHL gameday on Wednesday

Four KHL teams line up for games on a light KHL Wednesday after Tuesday's abundance.

In Nizhny Novgorod, Torpedo faces Avangard trying to improve its record, but the Hawks are flying high with a five-match winning streak. The action will be tense also on the Black Sea's shores when HC Sochi welcomes Avtomobilist. Both teams are on a losing streak, and both will want to try and revert the trend.
