Lada vs Torpedo Prediction 10 February 2026
🔊 The team from Tolyatti heads into the game on the back of a prolonged losing streak, while Torpedo are still vying for top spots in the conference. The favorite in this matchup is clear. Can Lada halt their crisis against one of the Western Conference leaders?
Head-to-Head
📊 In recent years, Torpedo have found themselves quite at ease in Tolyatti. Six out of their last seven head-to-head matchups on Lada's ice have ended in victories for the Nizhny Novgorod side. The only triumph for the hosts during this stretch came at the start of the current regular season, when Tolyatti won in a shootout (3-2). We believe the trend favoring the visitors continues.
Head-to-head statistics Lada - Torpedo
Lada Team Overview
Lada are navigating a challenging stretch this season. Heading into the break for the KHL All-Star Game, Pavel Desyatkov's squad dropped five consecutive games, significantly complicating their playoff aspirations. The defeat to Dinamo Minsk (3-8) was particularly painful, as the Tolyatti side conceded five unanswered goals late in the game, including three while shorthanded. Goalkeepers Alexander Trushkov and Ivan Bocharov managed to save only 81% of shots in that encounter.
Lada's issues are systemic. They allow opponents an average of 3.3 expected goals per game-one of the worst records in the league. Their power play conversion rate is also a weak spot at just 10.9%, the lowest in the championship. With infrequent lineup rotations and frequent defensive lapses, it's challenging for Lada to consistently compete against teams at the top of the standings.
Match Results: Lada
Torpedo N. Novgorod Team Overview
Torpedo are approaching the match in high spirits. After a rough patch at the end of January, Alexei Isakov's squad delivered an impressive performance on their Far East road trip, defeating Admiral (3-2 OT) and Amur (2-1). In Khabarovsk, the Nizhny Novgorod side were outperformed in expected goals but made the most of their opportunities, with goaltender Denis Kostin saving 96% of shots faced.
Overall, Torpedo remain one of the top road teams in the Western Conference. This season, they've claimed 68% of possible points in away games-one of the best records in the conference. An additional boost to their lineup came from Igor Geraskin, who joined Torpedo mid-season and has already made his mark with crucial goals.
Match Results: Torpedo N. Novgorod
📝 Projected Lineups
Lada: Trushkov (Bocharov) - Semin, Williams - Tyanulin, Savchuk, Mikhailov
Torpedo: Kostin (Dagestansky) - Zhuravlev, Konyushkov - Vinogradov, Tkachev, Atanasov
🥅 Goalkeepers
Lada's goalkeeping duties are shared between Alexander Trushkov and Ivan Bocharov. However, both keepers have been inconsistent recently, directly impacting the team's results. Torpedo, on the other hand, relies on Denis Kostin, who has hit a good run of form and performed confidently during their away fixtures in the Far East, consistently stepping up for the team in crucial moments.
Editorial Prediction
We believe Torpedo will control the game. The Nizhny Novgorod side appears more consistent on the road, capitalizing on their opportunities better and showing confidence in head-to-heads against Lada. The home team continues to struggle defensively and performs poorly in special teams, which could be decisive against a disciplined opponent. The choice in favor of the visitors is also backed by trends. Lada have lost to Torpedo in regulation in 6 of their last 7 encounters, and Tolyatti are currently on a five-game losing streak in the regular season. Given this scenario, we anticipate that Torpedo will once again impose their style of play and secure a victory in regulation time.No comments
