Norilsk Team Overview
The team from Norilsk is clearly going through a rough patch. With just one win and four losses in their last five games, there is cause for concern. However, there are some positives: on the road, Norilsk showcases impressive scoring ability, averaging over three goals per game. Unfortunately, they concede about the same amount. It's intriguing to watch their performance in the second period; between the 20th and 40th minute, the "Bears" pick up the pace and consistently net at least one goal in each match. This might indicate that the coaching staff is focusing on improving the players' concentration after the first intermission.
