    Final word -
    Full packed Ondrej Nepela Arena in Bratislava supported their team in almost magical way. Nevermind the poor standings of teams – the overall feeling wsa that this was a great hockey game. Guests from Khabarovsk levelled the result on scoreboard twice, but were unable to do it for the third time. Single powerplay chance also occurred for them, but they were unable to benefit on it. Bottom line – fans boosted Slovan side just enough to squeeze in this win.

    Slovan is 11th in Western Conference standings and Amur sits on 13th place on East. Neither of teams satisfies their fans in current KHL season with their results and plays. This game however is a nice chance for some consolation. It is hard to decide on who are favorites for today's game. Considering the fact that Slovan is home team and will get some true support they are probably in slight advantage, but that's just the theory. Both teams defenses are not on particularly high level in KHL season. Does that mean we will see many goals?
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:00.
