    Tonight CSKA Moscow will face Metallurg Magnitogorsk which is currently one of the top teams of Eastern Conference.

    The beginning of the season hasn't been particularly successful for the Red Army team, which is currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference. Two days ago CSKA lost to Traktor Chelyabinsk 1:3.

    A few days ago legendary forward, currently CSKA general manager Sergei Fedorov signed a contract with the team, but he is not going to make his debut tonight.

    Magnitogorsk, on the other hand, has proved to be the one of the top teams of the league. Two days ago team's eight consecutive win streak came to an end as Metallurg lost to Slovan 3:4 in the overtime.

    Certainly both teams are eager to win tonight, which should promise that we have an entertaining game in front of us.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 17:00.
