Head-to-head statistics Amur Khabarovsk - Salavat Yulaev UFA
Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
At the moment, the "Tigers" are characterized by the worst defense in the league, conceding 3.52 goals per game. Largely due to the incompetence of their defense, the Khabarovsk club is forced to miss the Gagarin Cup playoffs. Amur is also extremely unconvincing in home games, having earned only 19 points after 32 games (11th place in the East). Forward Vladislav Barulin deserves personal praise, having scored points for effectiveness in 7 of the last 8 matches.
