		The start into the new season had several ups and downs for Avangard Omsk already during their home stint against SKA St. Petersburg (1-5), Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (5-2) and Severstal Cherepovets (4-3 SO). In the last match against Severstal they even lost a point despite a three-goal lead. Today Avangard (5 points in 3 games) definately want to improve their situation in the Eastern Conference table. Their opponents Atlant Mytishchi from Western Conference had a terrible start against Spartak Moscow (0-2), Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk (1-4) and Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg (2-3 SO) for just 1 point 3 games which makes Avangard the big favourites this afternoon! Enjoy the game with us!
