My Prediction
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl by 3Don't get me started on that game between Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and Sibir Novosibirsk. If we look at the goalkeepers, it's like a competition of who can make the least saves, as all have 0.0% save statistics this season. What a treat for shooting practice, eh?
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl boasts top players like Maxim Shalunov, Alexander Radulov, and Artur Kayumov, who've been lighting the lamp consistently, with Shalunov and Kayumov knocking in 5 goals each last month, and Radulov pitching in with 5 of his own.
On the other side, for Sibir Novosibirsk, Trevor Murphy has put up an impressive performance with 4 goals and 8 assists in the last month. Taylor Beck and Brendan Leipsic however, might need to up their game a bit.
Looking back, in what history tells us about past matchups, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl is the one with the winning goggles on. Past victories not enough for you? Fair enough, let's turn our gaze to the regular season records then. Lokomotiv's figures are a sled pulled by angry Siberian huskies, at 36-8 compared to Sibir's rather pedestrian 19-23.
News flash, there's no plot twist in the recent results section either. Yaroslavl is steamrolling, with only one loss in the last five outings, while Novosibirsk is bobbing along the mediocrity float in the league's parade, with a more mixed bag of results.
Given the data swimming around, it becomes crystal clear that Lokomotiv Yaroslavl is the team to beat. Will Novosibirsk pull up a surprise? Doubt it, but that's the beauty of sports, isn't it?
After analyzing all the elements, the prediction is clear:
