My Prediction
Severstal Cherepovets by 2Snuggle into your slanket folks, as we are diving into the icy realms of the Kontinental Hockey League. Today's highlight is the tussle between Admiral Vladivostok and Severstal Cherepovets. Let's break some ice and dig deeper into the stats.
On the icy plate of goaltending, Severstal's Alexander Samoilov is holding the fort with 25 saves tucked snugly under his jersey from the past month. On the other hand, it's like Admiral Vladivostok's goaltenders took a vacation last month, neither Andrei Mishurov nor Vasili Demchenko managed any saves – that's a colder freeze than the Siberian winds.
Admiral Vladivostok boasts a parade of puck rangers to watch out for. The fierce Jack Rodewald, who's been lighting the lamp seven times in the past month, along with Dmitry Zavgorodniy, a package deal of two goals and six assists to boot. My eyes would also be glued to Libor Sulak. No goals last month, true, but those eight assists would make a snow plough jealous.
On the other side of the rink, Severstal Cherepovets isn't staying quiet. Look out for David Dumbadze with three goals and assists from the past month. Kirill Pilipenko isn't just a mouthful; he's also a handful with three goals and two assists last month. Danil Aimurzin deserves some airtime too, with four goals under his skates last month.
When we switch the channel to past broadcasts, Severstal seems to have the upper glove on Admiral Vladivostok. Severstal took the cake twice in the last three fixtures between these two, and that weighs heavy on the prediction balance.
Rolling our eyes over to the regular season records, Severstal has had the better run with a 15-11 record versus the 12-13 of Admiral Vladivostok. And if we sneak a peek at recent outcomes, things don't look any rosier for Vladivostok. They've been riding a slippery slope, while Severstal has been keeping their skates at least somewhat sharp.
Well then, I suggest you hold on to your thermal mugs as my gut calls this for Severstal Cherepovets and I foresee them skating away with a 2 goal lead.
