Omsk will play their second match in Vladivostok after their success two days ago, which became the third in a row this season (4:3 OT, 2:1 B, 2:1 OT). It is interesting that the confrontation between “Admiral” and “Avangard” has a local anomaly – the last nine games between them ended outside regular time. Will this happen for the tenth time in a row? The Sailors, having scored 39 points, continue to close the East table. Avangard scored 65 points and is in the top three in the conference. It is possible that Vasily Demchenko, who previously defended the colors of the Omsk club, will appear in goal for Admiral in the upcoming game – he missed the previous match due to illness.
Sailors goalkeeper Sergei Ivanov is in the top 5 of the championship in terms of percentage of shots saved (93.5 after 24 games). Reed Boucher, who scored a double, displaced his partner Vladimir Tkachev from second place in the list of scorers, with 34+25 and 16+43, respectively. Boucher leads the sniper race, Tkachev leads the assistant race. Damir Sharipzyanov is in the top 5 scorers and assists among defenders (7+25 in 46 games). Ryan Spooner scores a point in four games in a row (0+4) and is in the top 5 assists of the season (34 assists in 45 meetings). For Omsk forward Valentin Pyanov, the next point scored is the 200th in the KHL. Another Avangard striker, Igor Martynov, is one step away from his 200th game in the League.
In total, Avangard won 24 of 35 matches against Admiral in KHL history.
