KHL. Before the match Barys - Metallurg

Barys will play its first game of the new calendar year on home ice. Today, Andrei Skabelka's wards will play against Metallurg.

Magnitogorsk team finished 2022 with a road loss in Chelyabinsk (2:5). It's noteworthy that Barys lost their spot in the Eastern Eight after that game. Kodie Curran and Nikita Korostelev were the authors of the goals scored against Traktor. Eddie Pasquale had a bad game, conceding four goals on 28 shots and was replaced by Vasily Koshechkin. The Metallurg head trainer noted that a few ricochets played in the opponent's favor.

In 45 games, Magnitogorsk earned 60 points, a result that allows you to take second place in the East. Philippe Maillet (17+23) is one of the top five scorers in KHL.

Barys earned a win in Novosibirsk last round (2-1). Jeremy Bracco scored his tenth goal of the season, and Nikita Mikhailis scored again. Linden Vey (14+15), Astana's leading scorer, had two assists. Julius Hudacek saved 28 shots on net. Andrei Skabelka commented during the press conference that the training staff purposely created a power play brigade of five "right-handed" players, and mentioned the debut of Alexander Borisevich in KHL in a positive way.

With 43 points after 45 games, Kazakhstan is ninth in the conference. Defenders Yegor Shalapov and Nelson Nogier remain on the injured list at the time of publication of this article.
