The eighteenth KHL season kicks off tonight with the traditional clash between last year’s finalists, Lokomotiv and Traktor. It’s the first time that the two sides meet in the Opening Cup game. In their histories, the Railwaymen had one Cup win, last year, while Traktor has zero.

Lokomotiv is on the brink of making history. After a dominant 3:1 win in Chelyabinsk, the Railwaymen lead the series 3-1 and are just one victory away from their first Gagarin Cup title. With three straight wins following an opening loss, the Yaroslavl side has momentum and home ice on its side for game five. Can Traktor force the series back to Chelyabinsk, or will Lokomotiv lift its first national championship since 2003 in front of its fans?

Lokomotiv seized the advantage in the Gagarin Cup final with a clinical 5:2 win in Chelyabinsk, taking a 2-1 series lead. Artur Kayumov led the charge with two goals, while veteran Alexander Radulov extended his scoring streak to four games. Traktor, missing key players in game three, hopes to bounce back with Charles Robinson and Andrei Svetlakov likely to return for game four. As the series stays in Chelyabinsk, the pressure is now firmly on the home team.

With the 2025 Gagarin Cup final tied at 1-1, Traktor and Lokomotiv head to Chelyabinsk for a pivotal third game. Lokomotiv rebounded from an opening loss with a dominant 4-1 victory in Yaroslavl, neutralizing Traktor’s top scorer Maxim Shabanov and overwhelming Zach Fucale’s net with 46 shots. Alexander Radulov leads the charge on a hot streak, while key injuries and milestones loom. Both teams are now hunting momentum in a finely balanced showdown with the Cup on the line.

Lokomotiv will try to bounce back after dropping Game 1 in dramatic fashion, conceding twice in just 13 seconds during a tough third period. The Yaroslavl team has now opened each of its three playoff series with a loss and needs a stronger offensive effort to avoid falling into a deeper hole. Traktor, on the other hand, is flying high behind Maxim Shabanov’s scoring streak and looks to build on its momentum in game two of an exciting Gagarin Cup final series.

Lokomotiv enters the finals with confidence, having defeated Traktor twice during the regular season—5:3 in Chelyabinsk and 4:2 at home. The Yaroslavl side also swept Traktor in last year’s semifinals, setting the stage for a heated rematch. Both teams dropped just one game in their respective semifinal series, showing strong form at the right time. With neither team having ever lifted the Gagarin Cup, this season will crown a first-time champion—adding even more weight to every shift, save, and goal.

Facing elimination, Dynamo Moscow avoided a sweep with a composed 3:1 victory over Traktor in game four of the Gagarin Cup semifinals. Missing key imports, the Blue-and-Whites relied on timely goals and solid defense to snap a playoff losing streak against the Chelyabinsk side. As the series shifts back to the Urals, Dynamo must deliver again to keep their hopes alive against a Traktor team still holding the upper hand.

Backed by a dominant shutout performance from Daniil Isayev and a trio of young scorers, Lokomotiv heads into game five with a chance to close out the semifinals on home ice.

With history and milestones on the line, expect intensity in Yaroslavl as both teams fight for their playoff lives.

Down 0-3 in the series, Dynamo Moscow faces elimination as Traktor Chelyabinsk eyes a sweep and a long-awaited return to the Gagarin Cup finals.

Can Dynamo fight back on home ice, or will Traktor finish the job today in the capital?

After dropping game three at home, Salavat Yulaev faces pressure to tie the series before it shifts back again to Yaroslavl. Lokomotiv, propelled by a clutch performance on May Day, aims to take a commanding 3-1 lead in Ufa.

Traktor heads to Moscow with a 2-0 series lead after back-to-back narrow wins, powered by early scoring and strong goaltending from Zach Fucale. Dynamo, still searching for answers in net, will hope that home ice—and Jordan Weal’s continued scoring streak—can help shift the momentum. With drama and emotions in sight for both sides, game three is shaping up to be a pivotal clash in this semifinal series.

Lokomotiv evened the series with a solid 2:1 win in Game 2, bouncing back after a home loss.
