    Dear hockey-fans! On Monday afternoon there will be a couple of KHL matches. One of them is Severstal Cherepovets vs HK Sibir Novosibirsk and will be taken in Cherepovets at the Ice Palace. Home team is currently ranked on thirteenth position in Western Conference, but if they win this match will be close to the playoff positions. They have collected 13 points so far twelve matches. The guest Sibir has a little bit better situation. They already have 18 points of eleven matches and this would be enough if playoff started right now. They are the seventh of the Eastern Conference, but this is not the most comfortable ranking. Thus, both teams need the three points and they are going to have an exciting struggle.

    Welcome. Game starts at 17:00.
