Dynamo Moscow faces Lokomotiv in today’s lone match!

Just one game is on tap today, with a clash between Dynamo Moscow and Lokomotiv. It can also be another decision day in the Western Conference.

Lokomotiv will visit Moscow looking for revenge after a recent home defeat—on Feb. 25, the Railwaymen fell to Dynamo 1:3. Since then, Igor Nikitin’s team has been unbeaten, securing victories over HC Sochi (4:2) and Severstal (5:0). Against Cherepovets, goaltender Daniil Isayev recorded his eighth shutout of the season, ranking second in the league in this category, trailing only Traktor’s Zach Fucale. The Blue-and-Whites, meanwhile, are riding a four-game winning streak, with their latest triumph coming against Avtomobilist (4:1), where they left little chance for their opponents. It will be the fifth meeting between the two sides, with the season series being tied at two. The two teams currently sit atop the Western Conference standings—Lokomotiv leads with 93 points, while Dynamo follows 12 points behind. A win for Yaroslavl would secure them the top spot in the conference at the end of the regular season.

19:30: Dynamo Moscow (38-18-5, 2^nd W) vs Lokomotiv (45-14-3, 1^st W)
