"Ak Bars" will play in the first match of the quarterfinals of the Gagarin Cup against Minsk's "Dynamo".
Today, the second round series of the Gagarin Cup kicks off at the "Minsk Arena" between Minsk's "Dynamo" and Kazan's "Ak Bars." Minsk's "Dynamo" finished the regular season in a record second place in the West, accumulating 88 points. In the first round, the Belarusians confidently defeated Moscow's "Dynamo" (4-0 in the series). Dmitry Kvartalnov's team allowed an average of no more than one goal per game and opened the scoring four times. "Ak Bars" finished third in the East with 94 points, five points behind second-placed "Avangard." In the series against "Traktor," the Kazan team won in five matches (4-1). However, this series cannot be called easy: three games went to overtime, and in three cases, "Ak Bars" conceded the first goal. The Minsk team is on a five-game winning streak and has not lost in regulation time at home for six matches.
In contrast, the Kazan team has faced difficulties in away games: in their previous nine away matches, they suffered five defeats. However, it is worth noting that "Ak Bars" has the advantage of experience — many players have gone through the NHL system and have performed successfully in the playoffs. Moreover, "Dynamo-Minsk" has defeated "Ak Bars" in their last five head-to-head encounters, giving the Minsk team a psychological edge before the start of the series. The match begins at 19:30 Moscow time.
