–

Continental Hockey League (KHL) team Riga “Dinamo” will host Beijing’s “Kunlun Red Star” on its field on Monday at the end of a series of four home games.

The match “Arena Riga” will start at 7.30 pm, broadcasting it live on the channel “TV3 Sport”.

The Riga team has suffered 14 losses in a row, but suffered two losses in this series without climbing the ice. Namely, “Dinamo” suffered technical losses for two games in October.

In the first two games of the home game series, the Riga team lost 1: 3 to Nizhnekamsk’s “Neftekhimik” and “Sochi” teams, but on Saturday only in the 2: 3 overtime, the advantage of Ekaterinburg’s “Avtomobilist” was acknowledged. “Dinamo” head coach Pēteris Skudra admitted that the team’s game satisfies him, but the results are still negative.

Meanwhile, Kunlun Red Star is in a five-loss series.

The most productive in the opponents is the striker Ivan Nikolishin with five goals and six passes in 23 matches, followed by Hunter Shinkaruk with 10 (4 + 6) points in 15 games. The best scorer in the “Dinamo” team is captain Lauris Dārziņš with three goals and five passes in 14 matches, while the best scorer and second most productive hockey player is Zeks Michels, who has 5 + 2 in 18 fights.

It is significant that on Wednesday “Dinamo” team was joined by the strikers of Beijing’s “Kunlun Red Star” this season – Gļebs Zirjanovs and Latvian hockey player Gunārs Skvorcovs, who has already spent “Dinamo” seven seasons before. In turn, the head coach Pēteris Skudra revealed that the club also has Rihards Bukarts at its disposal.

In total, the teams have met eight times in the KHL championship, of which the Rigans have won three times. Last season, each team had success in two games.

Both units are located in the last venues of the conferences. “Dinamo” with eight points in 22 matches is in the 11th place in the Western Conference, but “Lunar Red Star” with 12 points in 24 duels is in the 12th position in the East.

After this match, “Dinamo” will go on a three-game trip, where they will meet with Moscow “Dinamo”, Yarsolavla “Lokomotiv” and “Kunlun Red Star” units. The duel with the Pekingese will not take place in the Chinese capital, but in Mithishchi.

Last season, Dinamo took the penultimate place in the Western Conference and in the entire league, not qualifying for the Gagarin Cup for the sixth year in a row.
