Amur Khabarovsk vs SKA St. Petersburg Prediction 6 November 2026
🔊 SKA St. Petersburg came to the Far East for points, but their first game ended in a heavy defeat in Vladivostok. Now they play Amur Khabarovsk, who had beaten the same Admiral convincingly a few days earlier. Amur have not scored many goals, but they have recently won games by three-goal margins. SKA have a different problem: they attack a lot but regularly concede on the penalty kill. Can SKA correct their mistakes after a poor start to the road trip?
Three points from a possible four
📊 Last season, the teams split their two games, but Amur Khabarovsk took three of the four points available. Their December meeting was particularly memorable: Amur Khabarovsk had to come from behind. The Tigers trailed during the game but tied it in the third period, then won the shootout. That win ended Amur Khabarovsk’s losing streak. The upcoming game gives SKA St. Petersburg a chance to get revenge, though last season’s results suggest they should not expect an easy game in Khabarovsk.
Head-to-head statistics Amur Khabarovsk - SKA St. Petersburg
Comfortable wins
Amur Khabarovsk have not been scoring much so far. The Khabarovsk side have scored 42 goals this season, and their average expected goals figure is 2.49 - one of the three lowest in the Eastern Conference. Still, Alexander Andrievsky’s team have won their few games fairly convincingly. They beat Barys and Admiral twice by three goals. In their latest game, Amur also outshot an opponent for the first time since October 17, which is particularly important for a team with such modest attacking numbers.
In Vladivostok, Amur gradually built their lead and were three goals ahead by the start of the third period. Danila Urakov, Sergei Khrapov and Ilya Lukin scored, and shortly after the intermission, Maxim Krovyakov scored his first KHL goal. Admiral cut the deficit to two goals, but the visitors had the final say. Alexander Machulin scored into an empty net to make it 5:2. The Khabarovsk side had 29 shots on goal to their opponents’ 20, converting 17.2% of their attempts.

Plenty of shots, but no goals
SKA St. Petersburg continue to alternate good games with painful defeats. After a poor end to October, Andrei Razin’s team beat Ak Bars (4:3), scoring twice in the third period. Their problems on the penalty kill have not gone away, though. In their last five games, the St. Petersburg side have allowed nine power-play goals. That weakness showed up again in the Far East. SKA can control the puck for long stretches and create chances, but they do not always turn their advantage in play into goals.
Against Admiral, SKA St. Petersburg put 39 shots on goal and spent more than 18 minutes on the attack, but could not beat Nikita Boyarkin. The hosts scored twice on the power play and added another goal on a quick attack early in the second period. Late on, SKA even pulled their goaltender for an extra skater, trying to make use of their numerical advantage. But an errant pass led to an empty-net goal credited to Boyarkin. The final score (0:4) made for an unpleasant start to the Far East road trip.
