🔊 Admiral Vladivostok and HC Barys Astana will meet again in Vladivostok, where they played out a high-scoring game just over two weeks ago.

Head-to-head statistics Admiral - HC Barys Astana

One Minute Was All It Took to Lose
Admiral Vladivostok have won three of their last four games, averaging 3.3 goals over that stretch. For a team with the lowest expected goals figure in the Eastern Conference (2.24), that scoring rate is unusual. The power play has been particularly useful: against Neftekhimik and SKA, Admiral converted two of three chances in each game. Daniil Usmanov scored on the power play in both. After 22 games, the Vladivostok team have 23 points and sit seventh in the Eastern Conference.
The most memorable part of the latest game against SKA belonged to Nikita Boyarkin. The goalie stopped all 39 shots from the St. Petersburg team and was also credited with a goal late on. SKA pulled their goalie during a power play, but an errant pass sent the puck into the empty net. By then, Admiral had built a comfortable lead through goals from Yegor Chezganov, Ivan Yanchenko and Daniil Usmanov. The 4:0 result was a convincing response to the loss to Amur in the Far Eastern derby.

After 22 games, HC Barys Astana have 25 points and sit third in the Eastern Conference. Justin Bailey deserves particular attention: with 23 points (12+11), he leads the KHL in both points and goals.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Recent results might suggest a cautious prediction: Admiral Vladivostok have just kept a clean sheet against SKA, and HC Barys Astana scored only once in Chelyabinsk. But meetings between these teams often go very differently. In eight of their last ten games, they have combined for at least five goals. Not long ago in Vladivostok, they scored nine between them, and HC Barys Astana’s four goals were not enough to prevent a loss. Admiral Vladivostok’s attack has improved too: they have averaged 3.3 goals over their last four games. HC Barys Astana have enough dangerous forwards to contribute to a high-scoring game. My pick - total over 4.5 goals.
