CSKA seeks to stretch winning streak in Khabarovsk!
CSKA had a slow start of the season, but it’s improving its record and won its previous couple of matches – the Muscovites are currently the sixth seed in the West and they can further improve should they manage to get out with another win in the Far East after defeating Admiral on Saturday (1:4).
In the other game of the night, Metallurg faces Dynamo Moscow. The Blue-and-Whites don’t win in Magnitogorsk for more than ten years, losing as much as ten straight away games to Metallurg. However, both teams lost their previous contests, so they will be on the hunt for a victory to gain points and mood.
