Rematch between Admiral and Sibir today!
The upcoming game between Admiral and Sibir is set to be a highly-anticipated rematch following their previous match on Thursday. In that game, Sibir was up by two goals, but Admiral managed to rally back in the third period, making for an exciting finish. However, Sibir ultimately secured a shootout win.
Tonight’s game will be a critical one for both teams, as they both will be looking to secure crucial points. Sibir will be looking to hold onto their spot at the top of the Eastern Conference, while Admiral will be fighting to break their current five-game losing streak and secure a place in the playoffs.
One player to watch for Sibir will be Taylor Beck, who recently set a new club record for the most single regular season points. With his impressive scoring abilities, he will be a key player for the team as they aim to secure another win.
The action then moves Westwards, with Kunlun Red Star hosting Spartak. Despite the difference in the standings, the Dragons have the upper hand in direct confrontations, and may be again a hard client to deal with for the Muscovites.
In Minsk, local heroes of Dinamo will try to secure other critical points hosting Torpedo. It will be no easy task for the Belarusians, who however managed to secure a win earlier in the season against Igor Larionov’s young guns.
