Dynamo vs Avtomobilist Prediction 4 March 2026
📣 The KHL regular season is nearing its conclusion, but hockey fans can still look forward to several marquee matchups. One of these high-stakes games features Dynamo Moscow facing off against Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg. Both teams have already secured their playoff spots and are now vying to solidify their positions among the leaders. Who will come out on top? We’ll find out soon enough.
Head-to-Head
In mid-February, the teams from Moscow and Yekaterinburg faced off. At the UGMK Arena, Dynamo clinched a 2-1 victory. Dylan Sikura, Jordan Weal, and Nikita Gusev each contributed crucial points to secure this important win. Avtomobilist played undisciplined hockey, which led to their downfall after forward Yegor Rimashkevsky capitalized on a power play. It's worth noting that Dynamo holds the overall advantage in their head-to-head matchups, boasting 22 wins compared to just 7 victories for Avtomobilist across 29 encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Dynamo - Avtomobilist
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
Dynamo have secured six victories in their last ten matches. On home ice, they excel, averaging 2.71 goals per game. A solid defense and effective power play have become Dynamo's trademarks. Recently, their only slip-up was an away game against Lokomotiv (1-3), while in other contests, they restricted their opponents to just 1-2 goals. Last week, Vyacheslav Kozlov's squad capped off with an impressive win over the Eastern Conference leaders, Metallurg Magnitogorsk (4-1). The Moscow team netted a goal in each period and showcased superb penalty killing. Currently sitting sixth in the Western Conference, Dynamo's consistent performance gives them a chance to climb higher. Despite injuries to defensemen Claesson and Gotovets, their absence hasn't significantly impacted the defense.
Match Results: Dynamo Moscow
Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg Team Overview
Avtomobilist are on a roll, with the Ural team securing four consecutive victories. Sprong and his teammates are delivering a powerful offensive performance, averaging just over three goals per game. Meanwhile, their defense has been solid, conceding more than one goal only once in the last four games. That instance was against Ak Bars (3-2 OT), where defenseman Nikita Lyamkin capitalized on two power plays. Currently, Nikolai Zavarukhin's squad trails Kazan by eight points in the standings. The chances of overtaking Ak Bars are slim, given Avtomobilist's challenging schedule in March, but they will strive to secure home-ice advantage in the playoffs. As of now, it appears that Macek and Boucher will remain sidelined for Avto in Wednesday's game.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Avtomobilist: Galkin - Osipov, Busygin - Sharov, Sprong, Kizimov
Dynamo: Motorygin - Ozhiganov, Pylenkov - Comtois, Ilyenko, Mamin
🥅 Goalies
Vladimir Galkin continues to share playing time with Yevgeny Alikin. If things don't go as planned, Avtomobilist's goalies are always ready to step in for each other during the game. Currently, Galkin boasts a goals-against average of 2.10 over 32 games.
There is reason to believe that Dynamo will have Maxim Motorygin between the pipes on Wednesday. The 23-year-old goalie has recorded a goals-against average of 2.24 over 27 matches and has even attracted interest from several NHL teams this season.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Both teams are in fine form: Dynamo have won six of their last ten matches, while Avtomobilist are riding a four-game winning streak. Given this, predicting the winner of the upcoming clash is quite challenging. Let's focus on the under 5.5 goals total. Considering the absence of Brooks Macek and Reid Boucher, along with the outstanding performances from both teams' goalkeepers, this prediction is well-founded. Notably, this total has been met in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters between the Yekaterinburg and Moscow sides.No comments
