Kunlun Red Star hosts Severstal trying to get out of losing streak!
Only one game is on tap on this KHL Thursday.
The Dragons are not in their best moment – the side lost its previous eleven games, including a 1:5 defeat to SKA on Tuesday. Kunlun allowed twelve goals in its previous couple of matches, and scored only two – they need to find a way to improve their defense and produce more chances in the offensive zone. Severstal isn’t either in its best period – the Andrei Razin’s men only achieved two victories in their last five games, although the victims were of high caliber with wins over Ak Bars and Dynamo Moscow.
19:00: Kunlun Red Star (9-27-7, 12th E) vs Severstal (25-13-7, 5th W)
