In another round of the KHL, Neftekhimik will host Sibir. Hockey players of Sibir do not lose in six championship matches in a row. Will the wards of Vyacheslav Butsayev stop the dispersed opponent in the upcoming battle?
Neftekhimik is gradually disconnecting from the struggle for a place in the playoffs. The team shows decent results, and only the 10-match winning streak that the Nizhnekamsk team had at the equator of the championship leaves hope for getting into the eight. Everything before and after this segment was a failure. In the last 13 meetings, the wards of Vyacheslav Butsayev were able to win only three times, which is not enough to solve their serious problems. Of course, players do not give up, try to get at least some points, but their chances of success are minimal. Now Neftekhimik is on the tenth line in the standings of the Eastern Conference, five points behind the cherished eighth line.
Not so long ago, Sibir was in an equally difficult situation, but the coaching staff headed by Nikolai Zavarukhin managed to rectify that situation in time. In the last six matches, the Novosibirsk club has not lost a single point, which in itself is a great achievement, so the team also achieves such results without one of its leaders Juha Peltola. His place in the first link is occupied by the young Alexander Sharov, who interacts great with legionaries and brings tangible benefits to the team. As a result, at the moment, Sibir is on the fifth line in the standings of the Eastern Conference, practically securing its participation in the playoffs.
Even though Neftekhimik won the last two face-to-face battles against Sibir, it is the Novosibirsk club that is the clear favourite of the upcoming confrontation. The men of Nikolai Zavarukhin are now in great shape, having won in the last six meetings in a row, but the Nizhnekamsk team has problems with the results, as they lost in 10 of 13 previous matches. The guests, being a courageous team, will not allow themselves to misfire in the battle with one of the league outsiders.
