Sochi vs Amur Khabarovsk Prediction 14 November 2026
🔊 Not long ago, HC Sochi looked like one of the Western Conference’s main outsiders, but they have now climbed to tenth and are taking points off stronger opponents increasingly often. Amur Khabarovsk also come into the game in decent form. They have won two games in a row and consolidated their place in the Eastern Conference playoff spots. Last season, the teams traded away wins, with the most recent game going to the Tigers. HC Sochi will now try to get their revenge and show that their recent success was no fluke.
The visitors took the wins
📊 The teams met twice in last season’s regular championship, and the visitors won both games. First, HC Sochi took two points from Khabarovsk by scoring the game’s only goal (1:0). In March, Amur Khabarovsk responded with a win in the south (3:2). Dmitry Utkin scored twice for the hosts, but the Khabarovsk side found a way to snatch the win: Danil Yurtaykin scored the decisive goal in the final minute. Across the two games, the teams were level even on goal difference, at 3:3.
Head-to-head statistics Sochi - Amur Khabarovsk
Wins are coming, but goals remain scarce
Since Nikita Gusev arrived, HC Sochi’s results have improved. Andrei Mironov’s team have won five of their last nine games, including overtime victories over Avangard and Dinamo Minsk. Scoring remains a problem, though. HC Sochi scored fewer than three goals in regulation in six of their previous seven games. Their injury problems have not gone away either: seven players are on the injury list, including Akolzin, Petukhov and Khokhryakov.
Their latest game against Lada nearly ended in another comeback win. HC Sochi trailed 1-3 after two periods but improved noticeably in the third. Matvei Guskov first cut the deficit, then the officials disallowed Fedotov’s goal for a high stick. Alexander Khokhlachev finally levelled the score in the 50th minute, but the visitors came out on top in overtime (3-4). HC Sochi had more shots on goal (32-29), but Damir Shaimardanov stopped only 86.2% of the shots he faced.
Match Results: HC Sochi
Two wins and a battle for the top three
Amur Khabarovsk have 27 points from 24 games and are just one point behind third place in the Eastern Conference. Alexander Andrievsky’s team have won their last two games, denying their opponents a regulation win on both occasions. They were particularly solid against Barys (2:0). Alexander Trushkov kept a shutout, taking his tally to four this season. Since Maxim Dorozhko’s injury, the bulk of the workload has fallen to him.
In Moscow, the Tigers had to play very differently. Spartak led 2:0 early in the second period, but Amur Khabarovsk managed to turn the game around. Ivan Klimovich scored his first goal for the Khabarovsk side while shorthanded, and Egor Filatyev drew them level before the second intermission. The decisive moment came four minutes before the final siren, when Nikita Lukin put the visitors ahead. Vladislav Voronkov then scored into an empty net, also while shorthanded. The final score of 4:3 gave Amur Khabarovsk their first win over Spartak in Moscow for seven years.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Early in the season, backing HC Sochi’s opponents was an option worth considering, but the situation has changed. HC Sochi have won five of their last nine games and came back from two goals down against Lada. Amur Khabarovsk can also improve as a game goes on, as their recent win over Spartak showed. At the same time, both teams do not always defend well: at least five goals were scored in two of HC Sochi’s last three games and three of Amur Khabarovsk’s last four. That total was reached in three of their five head-to-head games. My pick is Over 4.5 Goals.
