In the first match of their new road series, Barys will face Spartak. The Red-and-Whites recently lost a shootout at home against Traktor (2:3), snapping a three-game winning streak. Ivan Morozov and Mikhail Maltsev scored for Spartak, while goalie Dmitry Nikolaev made 22 saves. Alexei Zhamnov commented that the team lacked a "cool head" at the start of the game, and their focus seemed elsewhere.

In ten games, Spartak has earned 16 points, placing them among the leaders of the Western Conference. The goal scorers against Traktor, Maltsev (5+3) and Morozov (4+4), are Spartak's top point-getters.

Barys, on the other hand, suffered a crushing 1:10 home loss to Torpedo on Monday. Anton Burdasov scored the only goal for the Astana team. Vyacheslav Butsaev expressed many concerns and questions about his players, including their character.

After 11 games, the Kazakh team has only five points. Michael McLeod (2+2) is their leading scorer. The injured list includes Batyrlan Muratov, Ruslan Ospanov, and Connor Smith. Today, newcomers Stanislav Bocharov, Ilya Khokhlov, and Nikita Setdikov are expected to join their first practice with the team.

The game between Barys and Spartak is set to begin at 21:30 Astana time, with a live broadcast on KHL TV.
