Barys vs Amur: Game Preview

The Khabarovsk side arrived in the capital of Kazakhstan following a disappointing road loss to Sibir (0:2). In essence, the outcome was decided by a single goal, scored against Maxim Dorozhko midway through the third period. Overall, the Tigers’ goaltender made 23 saves. Alexander Andriyevsky noted that his team’s attack has been let down by the low number of shots at the start of the season, identifying this as an area with room for improvement.

Amur have collected 1 point in three games. The team’s leading scorers are Yegor Rykov, who was listed as injured one day before the game against Barys, and Kirill Pilipenko (1+1 each). In addition to Rykov, Danila Galenyuk, Semyon Demidov and Ivan Chekhovich are also on the injured list.

After routing Sibir, Barys produced another high-scoring performance against Salavat Yulaev. The game ended in an 8:6 victory for the Astana side. Thys Thompson scored twice, while Chase Priskie, Mason Morelli, Justin Bailey, Logan Day (his first goal for Barys), Ansar Shaikhmedenov and Kirill Lyapunov each added one. Hunter Shepard made 34 saves. Mikhail Kravets said his team is giving 200 percent and constantly working to eliminate mistakes in defence.
