Dynamo vs Shanghai Dragons Prediction 10 November 2025
📣 A new game week kicks off in the KHL. In one of Monday's final matchups, Dynamo will face off against the Shanghai Dragons at the VTB Arena. Can Gerard Gallant's squad outplay the players in white and blue this time around? Let's dive into the details.
Head-to-Head
It's hard to believe, but these teams have already faced off four times this season. Moscow have claimed victory in three of those encounters, while Shanghai managed just one win on their home ice in St. Petersburg (3-2). On October 14, the "Dragons" delivered a stellar first period and held firm in the third, preventing Gusev and his squad from capitalizing on any opportunities. Recently, Dynamo avenged that loss by defeating the Chinese team at the "SKA Arena" with a commanding 5-1 scoreline. Alexei Kudashov's side found the net in every period and excelled while shorthanded. Forward Maxime Comtois let his emotions get the better of him in the third period, earning a match penalty, but Moscow confidently closed out the game even without their star import.
Head-to-head statistics Dynamo - Shanghai Dragons
Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
Currently, the "White-Blues" hold the fifth spot in the Western Conference. Recently, they've managed to avoid many losses, but they've encountered some challenges on home ice. Initially, the Moscow side couldn't secure a win in regulation against Togliatti's Lada, playing catch-up throughout the game. The capital's fans are fortunate to have players like Gusev and Weal, who excel in power plays and penalty shots-without them, the clash against the "Owls" could have ended disastrously. On Saturday, Alexei Kudashov's team suffered their first defeat in November. The triumphant side was St. Petersburg's SKA, who managed to avenge their recent setback at the "Ice Palace." Ahead of the game against the Shanghai team, forward Paquette and defensemen Ozhiganov and Claesson remain doubtful, as they missed the previous match against SKA.

Shanghai Dragons Team Overview
The "Dragons" currently rank among the top eight teams in the Western Conference, but their recent performances have been far from impressive. Last week, the Shanghai side played three games and suffered defeats in each. On November 3, they took to the ice in Magnitogorsk, where they couldn't handle the local Metallurg. Kevin Labanc and his North American teammates spent too much time in the penalty box, which proved costly. In their second matchup, Gerard Gallant's squad faced off against SKA St. Petersburg. The "Army Men" managed to turn the game around and snatched a point from Shanghai in overtime. Clendening and company ended their unfortunate streak with a home defeat to Severstal (2-4). Excessive penalties remain the main issue for the current visitors. All key skaters are ready to play against Dynamo, with only the potential absence of Slovakian goaltender Patrik Rybar noted.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Dynamo Moscow: Podyapolsky - Pylenkov, Gotovets - Gusev, Will, Sikura
Shanghai Dragons: Kareyev - Clendening, Valentsov - Merkley, Quinney, Rendulic
🥅 Goalkeepers
Dynamo's main goalie, Vladislav Podyapolsky, returned from injury in early October and has already played 12 games as the last line of defense for the "White-Blues." Vlad has only twice failed to maintain a save percentage above 90% in the last seven games.
With the potential absence of Patrik Rybar, the Dragons' coaching staff will rely on Andrei Kareyev and Andrei Tikhomirov. Kareyev performed well in a recent game against Severstal, saving 91% of the shots from the "Steelmen."
Editor's Prediction
In the upcoming match, consider betting on a total under 5.5 goals. This prediction is based on the fact that both Moscow and Shanghai have kept the score low in three out of their four head-to-head encounters this season. With Vladislav Podiyapolskiy performing well at the last line of defense and the Dragons' backup Kareyev showcasing confidence with 32 saves against a vibrant Cherepovets youth team on Saturday, this bet appears well-founded.No comments
