17:30 Atlant Mytishi – Yugra

Interesting game in the Kontinental Hockey League between the teams of Atlant Moscow Oblast and HC Urga.

Atlant Moscow Oblast still has chances to find a place among the first eight teams in the Western Conference, so this game is crucial for the home team, considering the fact, that there are only six rounds until the end of the regular season and the hosts have games against good teams like SKA Saint Petersburg and Jokerit in the next five rounds.

In the matter of fact, Atlant Moscow Oblast is not among the teams with the best home records in the Western Conference (10-0-3-12 66-69), but now they will face an opponent, whose away record is among the worst in the league (6-3-1-18 60-88) and what is also important – against whom they won twice in the previous two games at “Mytishchi Arena” (Atlant Moscow Oblast – HC Urga 4-2 on 08.10.2012 ; Atlant Moscow Oblast – HC Urga 5-1 on 02.03.2014).

HC Ugra is already without chances to reach the playoffs after the regular season (12th position in the Eastern Conference / 13-6-6-29 124-159), as the visitors lost each of their previous five away games – all of them in the regular time (0-0-0-5 7-18).
