Severstal won three of their last four matches, receiving the only loss at home against bottom side Dinamo Riga (2-4). After a negative trend for several weeks, Spartak at least gained three points in their last three games of which two were decided in the shootout but most recently lost on the road against Dinamo Minsk (0-3).
The topscorers of Severstal are Vadim Shipachyov (26 pts), Yevgeni Ketov (19 pts), Alexander Ryazantsev (13 pts) and Vadim Berdnikov (11 pts). Spartak has no player who really shines but they have several forwards at the same level like Stefan Ruzicka (14 pts) along with Mikhail Yunkov and Branko Radivojevic (both 13 pts).
When both teams met for the first time this season Spartak earned a win at home against Severstal (3-2 OT) in early October. Today the favourites are Severstal though.

There is the early lead for the hosts through VADIM BERDNIKOV !
EVGENY KETOV receives the pass in the center position after a nice combination and then he dekes out Yakhin to double the Severstal lead !
Assisted by Denis Kazionov and Vadim Shipachyov.
And the guests already were able to use the two men advantage. After a shot from a half left position NIKOLAI BUSHUYEV is the first one to react and get the rebound over the line to cut the Severstal lead to the half !
Assisted by Denis Bodrov and Jaroslav Obsut.
The puck bounces back from the boards and PAVEL DEDUNOV is the first to see it. He takes the puck and with a wrap-around gets it over the goal line for the 3-1 lead by Severstal !
Without assist.
From the right wing VADIM SHIPACHYOV fires the puck into the right corner for the 4-1 ! Yakhin didn't really look to good there...
Assisted by Alexander Ryazantsev and Petr Caslava.
