Lada Team Overview
The club from the Samara region has seen a slight transformation since the start of November. They managed to pick up points in five out of their last seven matches. While it's hard to call this a full-fledged tournament surge, as they remain well outside the top 8 in the East, the team's progress is noticeable. However, Lada still ranks as one of the least effective offensive teams in the conference. They've only managed to score 57 goals, which is the lowest tally. Under these circumstances, it's difficult to expect them to genuinely compete for a playoff spot.

🥅 Goalkeepers
Severstal's netminder Vsevolod Skotnikov is a rare sight in the lineup. The CSKA Moscow product has only appeared in six games this season but maintains a commendable level of performance. On average, he saves 91.5% of shots and could potentially secure a regular spot in the future.
Lada's goaltender Alexander Trushkov has seen significantly less ice time recently, and for good reason. The former Spartak player saves just 90.4% of shots on average and has had several notable breakdowns.
