		Russian national Anthem is played at SKA Ice Palace
		SKA leads overall KHL standings and Traktor is on 14th place. Considering that fact – there's no doubt about today's favorites. However – favorites do not always win. Roman Cervenka is SKA's most prominent player regarding points at the moment – he played in 29 season's games and contributed 27 points for his team (8 goals + 19 assists). That's good enough for 4th place in KHL stats. Petri Kontiola (Traktor) is on 33rd place as the best Traktor player with 19 points in 25 games (7 goals+12 assists). We'll see what happens in few minutes time.
		Welcome. Game starts at 16:30.
