14:30 Barys Astana – Avangard Omsk

Third game in playoffs result is 1-1.

To be honest I don't like to make bet too much on teams from Eastern Conference but will try here as think that Avangard will win this.

After two games now series are in Astana and home side should have that advantage what brings home ice but for me Avangard are better team.Both teams this season played 7 times and Avangard lost just once that was last game that played 2 days ago but must say that they dont have luck in that game after receiving 2 goals in first period they were unable to score and come back in match as Astana defend themselves very well and their goalie Laco was fantastic on goal also in next two periods they have only 6 shots on Avangard goal.I will try with away win here as in last match Avangard was only unlucky but they certainly know how to play and win against Barys Astana and if Im not wrong Astana again will be without their captain Bochenski but it is not 100% relevant as KHL do not give proper and correct information for absent .
