Dinamo Minsk hosts Kunlun Red Star in today’s lone match!

Only one game is on tap for a light KHL Sunday when, in Belarus, Dinamo Minsk clashes with Kunlun Red Star.

The Bison are one of the hottest clubs in the league right now, with eight straight wins and an unexpected place in the top four in the Western Conference. The Dragons currently haven’t lost all their hopes for a postseason qualification, but they are now at nine points from eighth-placed Torpedo, and the odds are against them at the moment. The teams have already met three times this season, with Dinamo Minsk scoring six goals to Kunlun Red Star’s net with six different scorers, including blueliners Brady Lyle, Nicolas Meloche, and Xavier Ouellet as the team celebrated da 6:2 home win, with the Dragons scoring two goals while already down by six with Lucas Lockhart and Tyler Graovac contributing two points to the team’s losing effort. More than ever, Mikhail Kravets’ squad is in a do-or-die situation as the team desperately needs a win. After this game, the Belarusian will start a new three-game road trip that will see the team traveling to St. Petersburg, Cherepovets, and Ufa before returning home to face HC Sochi on Mar. 18.
