🔊 Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk will host Amur Khabarovsk on their home ice. Both teams are struggling and have been on a losing streak recently. The hosts have hit this rough patch quite unexpectedly. The visitors, on the other hand, have quickly settled into their usual position as one of the main underdogs in the Eastern Conference. They don't have high expectations.

Head-to-head statistics Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk - Amur Khabarovsk
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk Team Overview
Igor Grishin's squad kicked off the regular season with an impressive stretch, securing seven wins in their first eight games. They confidently defeated established favorites like Avtomobilist (twice, 4-1 and 5-2), Ak Bars (2-1), and Dynamo Moscow (3-2). Interestingly, this surge was hard to explain based on their roster, which is notably weaker than the aforementioned opponents. Yet, this didn't prevent the team from playing with great dynamism and consistently achieving results. However, the tide has turned as they've now suffered two consecutive home defeats. It's crucial for them to halt this decline immediately.

Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
The club from Khabarovsk has quickly reverted to its usual status as the perennial underdog in the Eastern Conference. They have managed just 3 wins in 11 games and have only scored 20 goals, the worst record in the entire league. Currently, they are on a three-game losing streak with a combined score of 3:11. There are no signs that they can turn things around and get back into the race. Alexander Galchenyuk's squad is struggling on both ends of the ice and is unable to put up a decent fight against nearly any opponent.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Neftekhimik: Ozolin - Profaka, Khafizullin - Yurtaikin, Mityakin, Belozerov
Amur: Dorozhko - Mishchenko, Yevseyev - Broadhurst, Galchenyuk, Talaluev
🥅 Goalkeepers
Neftekhimik's goalie Yaroslav Ozolin has played only a handful of games in the current regular season and hasn't been impressive - saving just 87.4% of shots. However, he is required to occasionally give his partner Filipp Dolganov a break.
Amur's netminder Maksim Dorozhko continues to be one of the standout players in his position within the league. He boasts an impressive average save percentage of 93.1%, which starkly contrasts with his team's frequent losses.
Editor's Prediction
Yes, the hosts are clearly out of form, having suffered two consecutive home defeats after an impressive winning streak. However, this time they're up against a notably weaker opponent who doesn't pose much of a threat. Amur have the lowest scoring record in the league and are understandably languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Igor Grishin's squad must break their emerging losing streak and secure their home points. With no injuries in the lineup, they just need to make the most of their home ice advantage. We recommend betting on a Neftekhimik win in regulation time.No comments
