🔊 Togliatti's Lada will host Omsk's Avangard on their home ice as part of another game day in the KHL regular season. The hosts are persistently striving to alter their course in the standings and remain hopeful of competing for a playoff spot. Meanwhile, the visitors have successfully and impressively overcome their slump and are back in the race for the top spot in the East.
Head-to-Head
Last season, the rivals clashed four times, maintaining parity with two victories each. It's worth noting that neither side went beyond regulation time, and both were quite prolific in their scoring. Only once during this period did they record fewer than four goals. In another instance, the teams engaged in a true "goal fest," which ended with Avangard triumphing 7-6.

The Omsk club struggled to overcome a slump that hit them in early November.

🥅 Goalies
Lada's goaltender Ivan Bocharov consistently maintains a high level of play. The former Torpedo player boasts an average save percentage of 92.6%, an impressive stat for a team positioned far outside the playoff zone.
Avangard's netminder Nikita Serebryakov remains one of the most reliable players in his position across the league. The ex-SKA player averages a 92.4% save rate and avoids major lapses. His confidence and composure provide a boost to his teammates.
Editorial Prediction
Despite the hosts' commitment to defensive setups, we anticipate a rather high-scoring encounter. The visitors have overcome their issues, delivering two consecutive thrilling performances. Guy Boucher's squad has proven they can succeed by playing in their hyperactive style. Moreover, more than five goals have been scored in 13 of the last 15 away games for the "Hawks." In our view, this trend is likely to continue in Tolyatti and could even be surpassed. Our bet is on over 5 goals.No comments
