Admiral Vladivostok Team Overview
The club from Vladivostok is currently facing significant challenges. It's fair to say they're in a full-blown crisis on the field. The hosts have suffered seven consecutive defeats, which has understandably seen them drop to the bottom of the Eastern standings. Their issues with scoring have been systemic for some time now, with only 44 goals to their name. With such a modest level of efficiency, dreaming of a spot in the playoff top eight seems far-fetched.

It's not quite a slump, but since the third week of October, the club has consistently alternated between victories and setbacks, unable to string together a solid winning streak. However, when it comes to scoring, they have no equals in the conference. The team boasts 87 goals, the best tally in the East.
Match Results: Metallurg Magnitogorsk
🏒 Projected Lineups
Admiral: Shugaev - Ruchkin, Koledov - Daryin, Olson, Muranov
Metallurg: Nabokov - Press, Maklyukov - Silantyev, Kantserov, Tkachev
🥅 Goalkeepers
Admiral's goalkeeper Dmitry Shugaev has returned to the lineup after a long absence. The former Severstal player is tasked with fortifying the home team's last line of defense, but he has been struggling, saving only 84.2% of shots on average.
Metallurg's goalie Ilya Nabokov has seen a dip in form recently. The future Colorado netminder is averaging a save percentage of just 89.1%, which is uncharacteristic for him. Interestingly, his slump has not coincided with the team's performance issues, as they have managed to achieve decent results despite challenges at the back.
