HC Barys Astana vs Lada Prediction 15 February 2025
🔊 Which opponent will be able to break their losing streak? Barys Astana has completely failed this season. After the massive summer acquisition of North American hockey players, many expected the Kazakh club to at least confidently make it to the playoffs. However, everything literally fell apart here in the fall. Lada, on the other hand, is experiencing similar problems. The Samara team has long lost all chances of continuing the fight in the Gagarin Cup and is simply finishing the regular season.
Head-to-Head
📊 The opponents have met twice in the current regular season, and the "bars" completely failed in those matchups. The Kazakh hockey players were unable to score against their opponents from Tolyatti even once (0:5, 0:1). As a result, Lada's goalkeeper Alexander Trushkov achieved two "shutouts." The most productive player at that time was forward Dmitry Kugryshev, who managed to make three assists. However, the current form of the hockey player raises certain doubts, as he has gone three consecutive games without scoring any points.
Head-to-head statistics HC Barys Astana - Lada
HC Barys Astana Team Overview
The team under Galym Mambetaliev sometimes manages to cling to results and put up a fight against opponents, but recently even this has become problematic. The club has suffered three regulation-time defeats in the last four matches. It is quite difficult to demand anything from the team under the current circumstances. Almost certainly, a number of hockey players will leave Kazakhstan in the summer, and the team will once again embark on a path of renewal. Moreover, a global goal has already been announced to fill the team with their own trainees and homegrown players. This will once again make Barys an outlying underdog in the KHL.

HC Lada Togliatti Team Overview
The club from the Samara region has completely fallen apart. It's too difficult to describe what's happening any other way. Lada has lost ten matches in regulation time in a row. Amidst this, voices from Samara are increasingly calling for the team's dissolution or its demotion to the VHL level. The future of the visitors is very uncertain, and the players are reacting accordingly to this informational "noise." The renowned team is once again going through tough times.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Barys: Boyarkin - Khokhlov, Antipin - Setdikov, Nikolisin, Zhafyarov
Lada: Trushkov - Ibragimov, Berezin - Kugryshev, Volkov, Popugaev
🥅 Goalkeepers
Barys goalkeeper Nikita Boyarkin was the winner of the KHL All-Star Game, and this is one of the few bright memories for the netminder this season. The team regularly leaves him exposed to the opponent, but the Kazakhstani holds his ground and has managed to maintain a save percentage of 90% in three of the last five games. Whether the goalkeeper will remain in his homeland next year is a big question.
Lada's goalkeeper Alexander Trushkov has recently been performing as poorly as his outfield teammates. In the last five matches, he has only managed to save more than 90% of shots on goal once. He also had an unsuccessful trip to the KHL All-Star Game, where he lost twice with the Kharlamov Division team. However, it is inappropriate to blame the netminder alone for numerous failures, as the defense is beyond criticism here.
Editorial Prediction
Lada's recent matches have become quite high-scoring. The team from the Samara region is looking "through fingers" at defensive actions and regularly makes a huge number of mistakes on their half of the rink. Yes, Barys is hard to classify as an efficient attacking team, but this time the home team will have a unique opportunity to achieve an impressive number of goals scored. Tolyatti will also have a similar chance. In our opinion, the upcoming encounter will be extremely "open," as neither opponent has major objectives. Our key bet is on a total of over 4.5 goals.
