Dynamo Moscow Team Overview
Alexey Kudashov's team successfully played two away matches in Yaroslavl and Saint Petersburg, after which they managed to secure three victories on home ice against Kunlun, Avtomobilist, and Lokomotiv. In four out of five games, the "white-blues" won with a margin of two or more pucks. It is worth noting that the result is achieved thanks to the excellent performance of all four lines of the capital's team. For example, in the Friday game against Lokomotiv, fourth-line forward Pavel Kudryavtsev scored twice, while in the match against Avtomobilist, the top-line forwards Nikita Gusev and Maxim Comtois shone as usual. Theoretically, Dynamo can still lose their place in the top 4, as fifth-placed Spartak is only 4 points behind the opponents from the capital and has five games in hand.

Vyazovoy became a true revelation of the season, achieving 5 shutouts in 26 matches. In the upcoming match against the "white-blues," the appearance of the more experienced Alexander Samonov is not excluded. The 29-year-old goalie regularly makes over 20 saves per game and is one of the league leaders.
The "Dynamo" goalkeeper Maxim Motorygin had brilliant matches against Yaroslavl Lokomotiv and Yekaterinburg Avtomobilist. The 22-year-old goalie became a revelation of the season and proved that parting with Hunter Miska was not a mistake by the management. Motorygin conceded more than 3 pucks only last December from Ak Bars. Maxim has an excellent goals-against average of 2.08 and 22 wins in 37 matches.
