Lada vs Amur Khabarovsk Prediction
🔊 The game in Togliatti could have been pivotal for Amur's playoff ambitions, but Sibir's victory yesterday dashed Khabarovsk's hopes of breaking into the top eight in the East. Thus, the clash between Lada and Amur will be largely devoid of any significant tournament implications. For a detailed look at the stats and trends ahead of this KHL regular-season matchup, check out the Scores24 editorial prediction.

Lada Team Overview
For Tolyatti, the match against Amur marks their final game of the season. After suffering four consecutive defeats to Spartak (1-7 and 2-5), Severstal (1-3), and Lokomotiv (2-4), Pavel Desyatkov's team finds themselves perilously close to finishing at the bottom of the Western Conference, regardless of the outcome of their final clash. Sochi trails Lada by just one point and has two games in hand.
At home, the Volga club has lost 6 of their last 7 matches, conceding at least three goals in five consecutive games. In terms of home performance, Lada ranks as the worst team in the KHL, securing only 37.9% of possible points. Their other stats are equally concerning, averaging just 2.06 goals scored per game while allowing 3.30.
Injury-wise, Tolyatti continue to miss Tyler Graovac, who has been out since late February. In their previous game, Lada's coaching staff gave debuts to 17-year-old defenseman Alexander Morozov and 18-year-old forward Mikhail Vorfolomeyev. Meanwhile, other young players like Danil Borodin and Artemiy Kuznetsov were left out of the squad for the Lokomotiv encounter. Tomas Jurco made his return to the lineup.

Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
Alexander Andriyevsky's team has been fighting tooth and nail for a playoff spot, managing to pick up a point on the road against Spartak (0-1 OT) and two against Sochi (3-2). However, their hopes of reaching the top 8 have been dashed, as they now trail Siberia by five points with just two games left in the regular season.
Amur have been on a roll away from home, collecting points in six consecutive road games - their best streak of the season. Despite their cautious approach in these games, their scoring efficiency has been lacking, as they've only managed to score more than three goals once. Their average scoring rate in away games in 2026 stands at 1.82 goals per game.
Amur are dealing with injuries to three forwards - Alex Broadhurst, Yevgeni Svechnikov, and Artyom Shvaryov - all of whom rank among the top 10 scorers for the Far Eastern club. Nikita Yevseyev missed the game against Sochi, but Artur Gizatullin made his first appearance in March, and Danil Yurtaykin has returned to the lineup.

⚡️ Key Players
Lada's top scorer in the club's scoring race is Riley Sawchuk, who has racked up 45 points (23 goals, 22 assists). The Canadian is the only player in the Togliatti squad to surpass the 40-point mark. There's still a chance in the final game for Volzhane's top playmaker, Artur Tianulin, who has tallied 39 points (8 goals, 31 assists).
In contrast, the Far Eastern club doesn't have a single player with over 40 points. Amur's leading scorer, Yaroslav Likhachyov, has managed only 39 points (22 goals, 17 assists) this season. The "Tigers'" top assister is Danil Yurtaikin with 23 assists.
🥅 Goalkeepers
As the season draws to a close, Ivan Bocharov has been Lada's go-to goalie. In the last two games, the Togliatti netminder conceded just five goals against two of the conference's top teams, boasting a save percentage of 93.1%. Alexander Trushkov's March performances have been less impressive, with an 87.7% save rate and a goals-against average of 3.52.
For Amur, high expectations have been placed on Maxim Dorozhko in recent fixtures. The goaltender has played 12 consecutive games without substitution. Over seven March appearances, the Khabarovsk goalkeeper has delivered a remarkable 92.8% save rate with a goals-against average of 2.02. With playoff hopes now dashed, it's likely that either Viktor Kobozev or Damir Shaymardanov will get a chance to play.
Editorial Prediction
This season, Amur have truly come close to mounting a playoff challenge. Last year, the team lost their chance to break into the top eight a month before the end of the regular season, by mid-February, and subsequently eased off, conceding at least twice in each of their final 12 games that season.
Considering that Lada have scored at least two goals against Amur in nine out of their eleven head-to-head encounters on home ice throughout their KHL history, it's reasonable to conclude that the "Tigers" won't be clinging to every defensive moment against their opponents. They might even give Maxim Dorozhko a well-deserved rest at last. Notably, Damir Shaikhmardanov's reliability coefficient this season is 3.17, while Viktor Kobozev's stands at 3.34. We assume that Amur might relax and concede a few goals to Lada. The editorial prediction is an individual total for Lada of more than 2 goals.
