Torpedo vs Dynamo Prediction 15 February 2026

Torpedo, under the guidance of new head coach Alexei Isakov-who has impressively climbed the ranks with the VHL farm team-are having a strong season. Currently sitting fourth in the Western Conference, they are eyeing a spot in the top three. On home ice, Goncharuk and his teammates average 3.12 goals per game, while the defense, led by Bogdan Konyushkov, concedes 2.73 goals. It's worth noting that the hosts often manage to score first in the opening period and maintain their momentum into the second stanza. This week, they managed to earn just one point, securing a draw in regulation against Ak Bars (3-4 OT). Torpedo's injury list has been clear since Alexei Kruchinin took to the ice, although there are concerns over the availability of starting goalie Kostin and top forward Atanasov (illness).

Dynamo have secured four victories in their last ten matches. On average, Nikita Gusev and his teammates score around 2.72 goals per away game, while their defense concedes approximately 2.41 goals. Interestingly, Dynamo often display high-scoring performances in the second period during head-to-head clashes with Torpedo. Following the All-Star break, the "White-Blues" triumphed over Spartak in a derby (3-2), and then edged out Avtomobilist with a similar scoreline (2-1). In the battle against the Yekaterinburg side, key defenseman Fredrik Claesson suffered an unfortunate injury. The Swede now joins Kirill Gotovets in the injury list. Vyacheslav Kozlov's squad currently hold a precarious sixth position in the standings, with close competitors starting to close in. The loss of key defenders and the absence of forward Comtois due to illness do not bode well for Dynamo.
