Amur Khabarovsk vs Sibir Novosibirsk Prediction 17 September 2025
🔊 Khabarovsk's Amur are set to host Novosibirsk's Sibir on their home ice. The hosts have made a respectable start to the KHL regular season. As one of the Eastern Conference's underdogs, who missed out on the playoffs last season, they've secured two wins in four games and aim to improve their record at home. In contrast, the visitors are struggling significantly, facing major challenges with their scoring ability.
Head-to-Head
In 2025, the rivals faced each other three times. The visitors claimed two victories during this period, including a dominant 5-1 win. However, their most recent encounter, just ten days ago, ended in disappointment-a 2-0 defeat. Canadian defenseman Cameron Lee played a pivotal role in Amur's success, providing two key assists.
Head-to-head statistics Amur Khabarovsk - Sibir Novosibirsk
Amur Khabarovsk Team Overview
The club from Khabarovsk kicked off the 2025/26 season with a three-game road trip, managing to secure exactly 50% of the possible points. A victory in Novosibirsk (2-0) and a shootout loss to Astana's Barys added three points to the club's tally. In the race for a spot in the Eastern Conference playoff eight, this is a respectable outcome. Yes, they came up empty-handed in Omsk (a 2-1 defeat to Avangard), but those were expected setbacks. Back on home ice, the Tigers immediately showcased their true strength with a 5-4 win over a solid Shanghai team. Currently, the hosts boast a positive goal difference, which should be encouraging, as few teams in the Eastern Conference can claim the same.
Match Results: Amur Khabarovsk
Sibir Novosibirsk Team Overview
Vadim Epanchintsev's squad have had a challenging start to the regular season, prompting early concerns about the team's prospects. They've suffered two defeats in three games, managing to score just one goal over 180 minutes of play. The losses to Amur and Admiral were both shutouts, while their sole victory against the Vladivostok club came in a shootout (2-1). No team in the KHL has scored fewer goals than the Siberians. In the attacking zone, they appear completely "toothless." While it's obvious that this situation will eventually improve, by then the team risks losing a significant share of points.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Amur: Dorozhko - Evseev, Mishchenko - Zaseda, Galchenyuk, Broadhurst
Sibir: Domingue - Priskie, Alanov - Butuzov, Tkachev, Wilson
🥅 Goalies
Amur's goaltender Maxim Dorozhko joined the Khabarovsk side this summer from Vityaz and has been performing admirably for his new team. On average, he stops 93.7% of shots and has already notched a shutout to his name.
Sibir's netminder Louis Domingue has made a strong entrance into the league. After some challenging years in New York, the Canadian has played two games in the KHL, saving at least 94% of shots in each outing. It's not his fault that his teammates sometimes struggle to score.
Editorial Prediction
The club from Khabarovsk consistently racks up points on their home turf, often making it a decisive factor in their success, even if it hasn't always been enough to secure a playoff spot. This time, they host an opponent struggling with scoring issues. Sibir's numerous tactical adjustments in attack have yet to yield results, leaving them struggling in the opposition's zone. Despite solid defensive performances, Sibir's chances of success remain slim. We recommend betting on Amur to win in regulation time.No comments
