Severstal Cherepovec Team Overview
Andrey Kozyrev's squad are having an exceptional November. They've managed to secure victories in seven out of ten matches, bringing them tantalizingly close to the top spot in the West. Moreover, the team's current statistical performance clearly indicates that their point-scoring pace is neither a fluke nor an anomaly.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Team Overview
The reigning Gagarin Cup champions hit a rough patch in the latter half of November, suffering five defeats in their last eight games. They've managed to hold onto the top spot in the West only due to their earlier successes and the numerous slip-ups by their rivals. However, their cushion has diminished, and now they face their main challenger. Following this slump, Bob Hartley's team no longer leads the conference in scoring with 98 goals or in defensive play, having conceded 70 goals.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Severstal: Shostak - Caldis, Gregory - Ilyin, Aymurzin, Tankov
Lokomotiv: Isaev - Yelesin, Bereglazov - Kayumov, Shalunov, Berezkin
🥅 Goalkeepers
Severstal's goalie Konstantin Shostak has made infrequent and less than stellar appearances on the ice this season. The Belarusian has an average save percentage of 89.3%. However, his partner Alexander Samoylov has been prone to mistakes recently, leaving the team with no other viable options in goal.
Lokomotiv's netminder Daniil Isaev is gradually returning to form after a slight dip in mid-November. The homegrown talent boasts an average save percentage of 91.8% and has recorded one shutout. Nevertheless, as experience shows, much depends on him here.
Editorial Prediction
Given the current unfavorable situation for the visitors, they are forced to play with extreme caution in away games. In fact, in 6 of Lokomotiv's last 7 away matches, no more than five goals were scored. Severstal will try to overwhelm the champions with their activity, but Bob Hartley's squad is unlikely to falter-they have handled similar situations before. We believe the trend of low-scoring games could continue in Cherepovets. Our bet is on a total under 5.5 goals.No comments
