    Neftekhimik is slowly recovering after sloppy start in KHL season. 10th place in current Eastern Conference standings are of course not yet enough. They believe in Nizhnekamsk they can beat Donbass today. Donbass on the other side lost toucj with several teams in front of them on Western Conference standings, but their 5th place can be described as nice achievement. Their plan today is to steal the points from Nizhnekamsk...
