CSKA tops the table. February 27 round-up
The battle for first place in the regular season went down to the final day, but a 1-0 win for CSKA at Ak Bars gave the Army Men the honors for the sixth time in 13 seasons. The other outstanding issue of the day was the destiny of the Chernyshev Division title. Avangard’s 5-2 win over Barys secured top spot for the Hawks even before Salavat Yulaev’s defeat at Lokomotiv. Elsewhere, Dmitrij Jaskin’s 37th goal of the season took him past Alexander Maltsev’s 50-year-old club record as Dynamo Moscow won at Kunlun Red Star.

The Faceoff: Oleg Li
Oleg Li began his athletic career on the antithesis of ice—the padded floors of a dojo. Li’s father, a judo champion-turned-coach, trained his son for a time in their hometown of Volgograd. It was not until the age of eight that the Sibir winger found his way to the ice, a relatively late start in a country where many children are born in skates.

Jokerit thrashes playoff chasing Vityaz, SKA rallies to beat Kunlun. Feb 22
There were only two games on Monday, but two more teams clinched their playoff places as a result of Jokerit’s 5-1 win over Vityaz. The visitor remains in ninth place in the west, but can no longer catch Dinamo Minsk or Severstal, meaning the last post season berth is now a straight shoot-out between Vityaz and eighth-placed Spartak. Earlier, SKA recovered from 0-3 to win 4-3 at Kunlun Red Star, with Kirill Marchenko’s game winner coming in the last minute.

Jaskin sets new record, Riga stuns CSKA. February 20 round-up
The day’s most eye-catching action came in Ufa and Helsinki. Both games were nine-goal thrillers: Salavat Yulaev blew a 4-0 lead before edging Kunlun 5-4, while Jokerit squandered a 3-1 advantage to lose in overtime against Dynamo Moscow. There was another fightback in Kazan, where Spartak rallied from 0-2 to win in overtime and give its playoff push a huge boost. Spartak’s recovery keeps Dinamo Minsk waiting to confirm its playoff place: despite an overtime win over Traktor, the Bison still need one more win to book a top-eight finish. CSKA suffered a surprise 1-4 loss at home to Dinamo Riga, and SKA went down 2-1 at Lokomotiv. Elsewhere, Vladimir Butuzov completed 100 points in the KHL as Amur won 3-0 at home to Neftekhimik, while Avangard got an overtime verdict at Torpedo.
20 February 2021, 09:00 Preview

The stretch run – tons of jostling still going on in today’s 8 contests!
Ak Bars will take another run at claiming first place in the east and will be successful if it manages to gain any points against Spartak Moscow or if Avangard loses to Torpedo. Speaking of Avangard, it can claim the Chernyshev Division crown if it defeats Torpedo AND Salavat fails to defeat Kunlun or gains a point over against Torpedo while Salavat loses to Kunlun in regulation time.

CSKA clinched top place in the Conference due to SKA’s loss at home to Dynamo Moscow, while Spartak’s win at Torpedo lifted it to eighth ahead of Vityaz, which lost at home to Metallurg. In the East, the big game saw a last second winner for Salavat Yulaev in the Green Derby against Ak Bars. Avangard won at Sibir and Barys moved ahead of Avtomobilist. Neftekhimik climbed off the foot of the table thanks to an overtime win at Amur.

Jaskin breaks club record at Dynamo. February 16 round-up
Dmitrij Jaskin scored his 35th of the season in a 6-4 win over Dinamo Minsk. That gives him 35 goals for the regular season, the best for Dynamo in the KHL. Elsewhere, there was late drama as Avangard tied its game at Barys with five seconds left and Metallurg levelled at Traktor in the final second. In both cases, though, last-gasp goals led to overtime losses. In the Western playoff race, Vityaz and Spartak both suffered defeats away at CSKA and SKA respectively. The two remain deadlocked on 56 points — but only one is in the top eight. Both sets of Army Men won their respective divisions with Tuesday’s victories. Lokomotiv snapped a three-game losing streak to win at Severstal, and there were victories for Sibir, Amur and Kunlun Red Star in the East.

CSKA can secure its crown in the Tarasov Division by defeating Vityaz in any way OR if it gains a point against Vityaz while Dynamo Moscow fails to defeat Dinamo Minsk OR loses in regulation time AND Dynamo Moscow also loses in regulation time while Lokomotiv fails to defeat Severstal. Whew! The Muscovites surely feel the best way would be to just defeat Vityaz at home.
