Torpedo vs HK Avangard Omsk Prediction 6 March 2025
📢 Will the "Hawks" extend their brilliant nine-game winning streak? On Tuesday, Guy Boucher's team secured another victory over Sochi (3:2 OT) and continue to chase the top-4 clubs in the East. The "Automakers," on the other hand, have secured a comfortable lead over Kunlun and theoretically can claim the sixth spot in the West.
Head-to-Head
In the current season, the teams have not yet faced each other. Both games are scheduled for March (the second game will take place on March 11 in Omsk at the G-Drive Arena). Two years ago, the teams met three times, and all matches ended with victories for the "Hawks" (once in overtime). In those matches, defenseman Damir Sharipzyanov and forward Reid Boucher stood out. These players are still leaders for the Omsk team and regularly score points.

HK Avangard Omsk Team Overview
The team from Omsk is impressing the hockey community with brilliant results. The "Hawks" intend to improve their position in the standings to secure home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Currently, they are only 4 points behind Metallurg Magnitogorsk, who are in fourth place. With 7 games remaining in the regular season, there is no doubt that Reid Boucher, Nail Yakupov, and other headline players from Omsk will delight their fans multiple times and enter the playoffs with great enthusiasm from the most favorable position.

🏒 PROBABLE LINEUPS
Torpedo: Kulbakov - Phillips, Konyushkov - Vinogradov, Artamonov, Atanasov
Avangard: Serebryakov - Chistyakov, Sharipzyanov - Boucher, Prokhorkin, Yakupov
🥅 GOALIES
The coaching staff of Torpedo is likely to once again favor 28-year-old Ivan Kulbakov. Kulbakov has shown good results at the beginning of the season, and in the last four games, he was also excellent, allowing less than three pucks per game. The goalkeeper has played 34 games and has a goals-against average (GAA) of 2.62, which is an acceptable figure considering Igor Larionov's offensive hockey philosophy.
In the upcoming match, the position in goal will most likely be secured by Nikita Serebryakov, as he has earned a reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the KHL and will help the team from Omsk solve the remaining tournament tasks. It should be noted that 27-year-old Mikhail Berdin periodically appears in goal and has performed excellently in recent matches, allowing 3 or fewer goals per game.
Editorial Prediction
Home matches of the "Avtozavodtsy" often turn out to be high-scoring, as the team's head coach, Igor Nikolaevich Larionov, advocates for attacking hockey. The failure of Beijing Kunlun, which could have secured the eighth spot in the West, will give the Nizhny Novgorod team more freedom to play openly. In turn, the Omsk team also consistently delights fans with their scoring ability, as they have the first overall pick of the 2012 NHL Draft - Nail Yakupov and the outstanding Reid Boucher, who recently recovered from an injury and immediately scored 3 goals in 3 matches. In our opinion, the most optimal bet would be total goals over (4.5).No comments
