Ilya Vorobyov’s troops have frankly stalled in the current gaming segment. The victory in Ufa with a score of 3:2 remains the only one in the regular time out of 7 fights, 5 of which Magnitka lost. The fiasco with Admiral 1-2 looks especially strange, as well as with Sochi 2-3. Both those and others are now in terrible shape and losing to everyone except the Metallurgist. A little more of this carefree play and you could lose your ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. But on home ice, the Magnitogorsk team loses the least in this championship in its conference. They only capitulated 5 times in the first 60 minutes, and 27 games have already been played. All thanks to a great defense game. Only Avangard and Admiral are below average throughput in home games in the East.

Kazan came to visit Metallurg after a tough match against Salavat. In extra time, Ak Bars lost, thus breaking their winning streak, which consisted of four matches. Bilyaletdinov leads the team into the playoffs in great shape. The boys haven’t suffered a defeat in regulation time since the end of December. Who do you think Ak Bars lost to then? That’s right, Magnitogorsk metallurgist. Ak Bars have two home games ahead of them. I don’t think the guests will play “all the money” today. A lot of strength was given to Yulaev. It will not be easier in Magnitogorsk. You can easily repel an attack from defense. It will turn out to stick to the glasses – good. It won’t work – don’t worry. The boys will get their home.
