Sunday 25.11.2012, 12:00 • KHL

		Welcome. Game starts at 12:00.
		Welcome! KHL has another busy Sunday today and Dinamo Riga finishes its three-game Russian trip at Ufa. Dinamo has been far from best this season and finds itself on 12th position in Western conference with just 29 points out of 28 games. However, they are going into the game on the back of a 1-0 victory over Nizhnekamsk on Friday. Big issue for Riga has been scoring goals, can they surprise today? Salavat Yulaev Ufa is doing way better, they are 6th in Eastern conference with 45 points and have recorded two wins in a row recently over Spartak Moscow (4-1) and Donbass Donetsk (5-1).

Dinamo Riga: Jucers (Tellqvist) – Rekis, Galvins, Lavins, Porejs, Sotnieks, Redlihs, Biezais – Karsums, Johnson, Meija – Giroux, Nizivijs, Szczechura – Dzerins, Daugavins, Ankipans – Indrasis, Bicevskis, Skvorcovs. Referees: Nalivaiko, Schenyov – Misyur, Raming.
