Amur faces Lada in today’s lone game!
In Khabarovsk, the Tigers will be seeking a win after two straight losses, while Lada will start a road trip after an encouraging home win over Sibir.
With only ten points and eleventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, Amur was certainly seeking something more from this start of the season. So far, the Tigers have only won four times, and lost their last couple of matches. Amur will begin a four-game home series, while Lada, in turn, will start a four-game road trip to the Far East, where they will face two matches each against Khabarovsk and Vladivostok. Heading into the first battle with the Tigers, Oleg Bratash’s team comes off a victory over Sibir (4:3 OT), during which the Togliatti side managed to come back three times. Due to injuries, the visitors will be without Andrey Altybarmakyan, Evgeny Kalabushkin, Pavel Koltygin, and Evgeny Groshev for the foreseeable future. In the standings, Lada leads Amur by two points, with both teams currently outside the playoff zone in the Eastern Conference. Will Khabarovsk be able to catch up to their opponents in today’s game? Lada collected its latest road win against Amur on Jan 19, 2009 (4:1).
