Before the match Barys - Salavat Yulaev

In the opening matchup of their final home series in November, Barys will host Salavat Yulaev.

Ufa’s team is coming off a 1–2 loss in Sochi. Devin Brosseau scored their only goal against the Leopards, while Ilya Konovalov stopped 29 shots. Viktor Kozlov noted that his team’s discipline issues disrupted their structure and rhythm throughout the game.

Barys, on the other hand, had a successful trip to the league’s southernmost city. On Monday, the Astana side defeated Sochi in overtime (2–1). Kirill Panyukov and Tyce Thompson both added to their goal totals, with Thompson surpassing the 10-point mark for the season (6+5). Adam Scheel recorded 33 saves. Unfortunately, team captain Kirill Savitskiy was injured in that game and has been placed on the injured list. Head coach Mikhail Kravets stated that his players have become more disciplined and structured, which has helped reduce goals against in recent matches.

Through 27 games, Salavat Yulaev has collected 23 points. Their top scorer is Maksim Kuznetsov with 16 points (4+12). Goaltender Semyon Vyazovoy ranks among the league leaders with a goals-against average of 2.28 and a .927 save percentage. Defenseman Nikita Zorkin and forwards Danil Alalykin, Anton Berlyov, Nikolay Khvorov, and Denis Yan remain sidelined due to injuries.

Barys sits at 25 points after 28 games. Their most productive player is Riley Walsh (7+14), who currently ranks in the top five among defensemen in scoring this season.
