The Russian Far East will see another two games on early Tuesday, with Amur and Admiral swapping opponents after Sunday's showdown against CSKA and Dinamo Minsk.
However, the most significant game in the East will be played later, when Metallurg hosts Traktor as the top two teams in the Eastern Conference will clash in Magnitogorsk.
Sibir and Barys will battle for being on the right side of the playoff line, while Salavat Yulaev will face a hot Severstal side which has amassed four wins in a row. In the meantime, Avtomobilist and Ak Bars also try to climb the East standings, with injuries stirring things up as the teams count eight players in the IL.
The action then moves to the Moscow Region, with Kunlun and Vityaz trying to get closer to the playoff positions. In the capital, fireworks are expected when Dynamo Moscow hosts Lokomotiv in a possibly exciting game, while Spartak welcomes Torpedo trying to stretch a four-match winning streak.
