KHL. Before the match Lokomotiv – Barys

On September 26, Barys will play with Lokomotiv in Yaroslavl.

Igor Nikitin's team approached their encounter with the team from Kazakhstan with a streak of four straight wins. Last week, Lokomotiv defeated Admirals 2-1 on home ice. Georgy Ivanov and Stepan Nikulin scored goals. Goalkeeper Daniil Isayev reflected 25 shots to gates. After the match, the Yaroslavl trainer noted that the game was equal, and his opponent constantly kept his team in a tone of voice.

In ten games, Lokomotiv have scored 13 points and are now in sixth place in the West. Denis Alekseev is the team's top scorer today, with 9 (3+6) points under his belt. Defenders Alexey Marchenko, Artyom Naumenko and Nikita Cherepanov were on the injured list for the evening of September 25.

Barys lost to Severstal in Cherepovets on Saturday, 2-5. The Astana team allowed just 12 shots on goal and suffered their fifth straight road loss. Anton Sagadeev and Jeremy Bracco added to their sniper scores. Jesse Graham extended his point streak to five games. He's one of the top six defense players in the KHL. In one game, goalies Julius Gudacek and Nikita Boyarkin's shutout came to an end. Andrei Skabelka noted that his team in this meeting was not like itself and played without the proper energy.

The Kazakhstan team scored nine points in ten games. It is currently seventh in the Eastern Conference. Bracco (2+6) tied Linden Way (5+3), who missed last week's game for medical reasons, for the most points. Today the captain of Barys is preparing for the match in Yaroslavl in the general group.

Last season, Lokomotiv and Barys played two head-to-head games. Both fights were won by the team from Yaroslavl (4:3 and 4:1).

The match starts on the Arena-2000 ice at 22:30 capital time.
