Lada vs Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Prediction 6 November 2026
🔊 A few days ago, HC Lada Togliatti pulled off one of the surprises of the season, beating the reigning Gagarin Cup champions in Yaroslavl. Now the teams meet in Togliatti, with the two sides in very different moods. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl have already made up for that slip-up with a convincing win over Spartak, while the hosts followed their surprise victory by conceding five unanswered goals in Ufa. The Yaroslavl side are still chasing CSKA, just two points behind. But can they get the better of an opponent that has caused them problems this time?
One goal turned expectations upside down
📊 The teams first met this season on November 2 in Yaroslavl. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl were considered clear favorites but could not break through the visitors’ defense all game. They created far more dangerous chances, with 3.3 expected goals to HC Lada Togliatti’s 1.5. The only goal came in the 56th minute, scored by Andrei Altybarmakyan. HC Lada Togliatti left with a 1-0 win, although the home side had the better of the play.
Head-to-head statistics Lada - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
From Upset to Rout
The end of October gave HC Lada Togliatti fans two reasons to celebrate. Igor Gorbenko’s team first beat Avangard (3:2 OT), despite being outshot 28:21. Nikita Setdikov scored the overtime winner. The Togliatti side then pulled off an unexpected win over Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, one of the Western Conference leaders. Both wins, though, demanded complete concentration on defence, and they could not follow them with a third straight victory.
The trip to Ufa was a complete failure. HC Lada Togliatti arrived in the city only a few hours before the game, forcing the start to be delayed by two and a half hours. The hosts scored twice in the first period and extended their lead to three goals by the middle of the game. In the final period, Sheldon Rempal scored shorthanded and on the power play to complete the scoring (0:5). The Togliatti side managed 20 shots on goal to their opponents’ 33 and were shut out again after two wins.
Match Results: HC Lada Togliatti
They answered with four goals.
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl continue to chase CSKA in the Western Conference standings, trailing the Moscow team by just two points. Even the absence of the injured Alexander Radulov has not stopped Dmitry Kvartalnov’s team from picking up points regularly. Yaroslavl won three games toward the end of their previous homestand, beating Severstal thanks to a lone goal from Alexander Yelesin. The loss to HC Lada Togliatti was an unpleasant exception, and Lokomotiv responded in their very next game.
In Moscow against Spartak, Yaroslavl made a strong start before the first intermission. Yegor Surin opened the scoring on one of the visitors’ first attacks, and Danil Romantsev doubled the lead. Early in the second period, Denis Alexeyev finished a quick counterattack before the hosts pulled one back. Rushan Rafikov then scored into an empty net late on to seal the win (4:1). Daniil Isayev saved 31 of 32 shots, and Lokomotiv killed off all five penalties.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl have been surprising this season, and sometimes not in a good way. Their loss to HC Lada Togliatti was particularly telling: the defending champions created chances worth 3.3 expected goals but failed to score against one of the league’s weaker teams. Still, betting on another HC Lada Togliatti win is risky, especially after their heavy defeat in Ufa. The hosts’ goal total is more interesting. HC Lada Togliatti have scored at least two goals in 13 of their last 15 home games against Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Even accounting for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl’s strong defence, that record is worth noting. Our pick - HC Lada Togliatti team total over 1.5 goals.
