- Lada Togliatti Form
Ak Bars have not produced their best hockey consistently, but tonight’s matchup offers an ideal opportunity to recover from Friday’s 3-2 defeat against Sochi. The Kazan side have won three of their four home games and opened the scoring in all four.
Lada arrive after a dismal 6-0 loss against Barys. They generated only four shots on goal across the entire game, including none during the third period, strengthening the case for another limited attacking performance.
The visitors have scored fewer than three goals in four of their last five matches and average only 1.67 goals per game this season. Ak Bars have experienced defensive problems recently, but Lada’s lack of attacking production makes their team total the stronger angle.
Key Stats and Betting Trends
- Lada have stayed under 2.5 team goals in four of their last five matches.
- Ak Bars have scored first in five of seven games, including all four at home.
- Lada have conceded a Western Conference-high 22 goals.
- Lada managed only four shots on goal in their 6-0 defeat against Barys.
Ak Bars Kazan Form
Ak Bars return home after losing 3-2 against Sochi, their second regulation defeat in three matches. Nikita Dynyak and Artem Galimov scored, with Galimov converting a power play late in the second period.
The Kazan side created the greater early pressure but conceded first on a counterattack. Timur Bilyalov remained in goal after the emotional 4-3 overtime victory against Salavat Yulaev and allowed three goals as Ak Bars struggled to maintain their concentration.
Yegor Sokolov enters tonight on a three-game scoring streak, producing two goals and two assists during that run. Defenceman Nikita Lyamkin has also recorded an assist in three consecutive matches, giving Ak Bars production from the blue line.
Despite their recent inconsistency, Ak Bars have been much more dependable in Kazan. Their three home wins include controlled victories over Admiral and Traktor, while their only home defeat came against Metallurg after a shootout.
Lada Togliatti Form
Lada have lost five of their opening six games, with their only victory coming in a 4-2 home result against Dinamo Minsk.
Their latest performance was their worst of the season. Lada registered only one shot on goal in the opening period and four across the first 40 minutes against Barys. They failed to test Hunter Shepard during the entire third period as the visitors completed a 6-0 victory.
Nikita Podskrebalin conceded three times before being replaced by Andrei Mishurov, who allowed another three goals in the final period. Lada’s defensive problems have now resulted in 22 goals conceded, the most in the Western Conference.
Their attack has been equally unreliable. Lada have been shut out twice and held below three goals in four of their last five games. They have also lost all three away matches, scoring only four times during those defeats.
Verdict
Back Ak Bars Kazan to win including overtime and shootouts, with Lada under 2.5 team goals the strongest supporting selection. Ak Bars to score first completes the card after the hosts opened the scoring in each of their first four games in Kazan.
