HC Spartak Moscow vs Admiral Prediction 14 November 2026
🔊 HC Spartak Moscow are in a difficult position again. After a winning streak in October, the Moscow side began dropping points, although they remain among the top five teams in the Western Conference. Things have gone differently for Admiral Vladivostok: six wins in nine games have brought them closer to a playoff spot. Their latest game against Barys, however, was a reminder that their problems have not gone away. They now travel to Moscow, where Spartak will try to end their losing streak, while the visitors will look to avenge their heavy defeat in October.
Five goals away from home
📊 The teams met for the first time this season on 16 October in Vladivostok. HC Spartak Moscow gave the hosts virtually no chance, winning 5:1. Egor Filin, Ivan Ryabov, Alexander Belyaev, Nikita Kholodilin and Pavel Poryadin scored for the Moscow side. Alexander Volkov scored Admiral Vladivostok’s only goal. That victory was the fourth in a row for Spartak, but the teams head into their November meeting under different circumstances.
Head-to-head statistics HC Spartak Moscow - Admiral
The lead that slipped away
HC Spartak Moscow's October upturn has given way to two straight defeats. Alexei Zhamnov's side first conceded seven goals against SKA, five of them in the opening period. The Moscow team then lost to Amur despite leading by two goals during the game. The power play remains one of the few consistent parts of their game, though: the red-and-whites have scored with the man advantage in three consecutive games. Personnel problems persist on defence, with Orlov, Rielly and Jaros injured.
HC Spartak Moscow started well against Amur. Egor Filin opened the scoring before the first intermission, and Maxim Comtois doubled the lead early in the second period. Amur then scored four unanswered goals, including an empty-net goal. Ilya Kotlyarov pulled them back to within one, but they could not salvage the game (3:4). The Moscow side won the faceoffs (33:23) but were outshot on goal (26:31). Ivan Fedotov saved 27 of the 30 shots he faced.

The third period undid a strong start
Admiral Vladivostok have won six of their last nine games and have 25 points from 24 games, but they remain outside the Eastern Conference’s top eight playoff spots. During that nine-game stretch, they scored more than three goals on four occasions. Their 4-0 shutout win over SKA stands out in particular: Nikita Boyarkin dealt with 39 shots and even scored a goal. However, Oleg Bratash’s roster is far from full strength: Grman, Zhukov, Kroshchinsky and Olson are injured, while Kulbakov’s participation is in doubt.
Admiral began their road trip with a 4-2 loss to Barys, despite leading after the first period. Usmanov and Mikhail Grass scored two goals in the space of 34 seconds before the intermission, but Admiral could not build on their lead. The hosts scored three times in the final period. The third goal was particularly frustrating, as the puck dropped behind Boyarkin after Logvin’s shot. Admiral managed just 22 shots on goal to their opponents’ 36, and their attempt to come back with the goalie pulled ended with another goal conceded.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
HC Spartak Moscow and Admiral Vladivostok share a problem: both teams can start a game well but then lose control. Spartak surrendered a two-goal lead against Amur, while Admiral had a poor third period in Astana. Spartak have scored on the power play in three straight games, and Admiral have recently scored more than three goals on several occasions. There is a stronger argument, too: the teams have combined for at least six goals in each of their last seven head-to-head games. Given both teams’ inconsistency, though, it makes sense to set the bar a little lower. My pick is Over 4.5 Goals.
