Novokuznetsk - Barys Astana   2    1.80    3:5    WON

The hosts, who are probably the weakest team in KHL this season, will try to avoid losing eleventh consecutive game and sixth at 'Metallurgist Sports Palace' in this period. It won't be an easy task actually, considering the fact, that Novokuznetsk is one of the teams with the weakest defenses in this league, as the hosts have conceded a total of 48 goals in their last fifteen games. Barys Astana, on the other hand, sits atop of the standing in Chernyshev Division, with 10-2-0-3  66:41 after fifteen games. 'The Snow Leopards' are definitely in a much better shape, compared with their opponents, winning eight of their last ten games. Barys Astana is the team with with the best attack in the Eastern Conference since the beginning of the new season (66 goals in fifteen games / 4.40 goals per game) and I doubt that visitors will make mistake in this clash. Away win for Astana, no doubt.
