Salavat Yulaev vs Avangard: intense game is expected in Ufa
UFA, 4 April 2019. /Bashinform News Agency, Natalia Ovcharuk/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.
According to hockey experts, a crushing victory of Salavat Yulaev over Avangard on the home ice “refreshed”, but did not beat down the Omsk citizens. The fourth match of the final series of the Eastern Conference of the KHL is expected to be intense.
On April 2, the Ufa team defeated the Bob Hartley team with a score of 5: 1 and made the score 1: 2 in the series. In the third game of the series, foreign players, defender Artem Sergeyev and fourth-line forwards - Maxim Mayorov and Peter Khokhryakov distinguished themselves.
The game of the special teams did not affect the outcome of the last confrontation of the rivals: Avangard capitalized only on one powerplay, and the Ufa team failed to take advantage of the powerplay even once.
Today, experts predict the next overtime. However, for Nikolay Tsulygin’s players, it is too risky to go to Balashikha with the score of 3: 1 in the series. Therefore, the Bashkir team will give everything to equalize the chances.
The beginning of the fourth match of the KHL East finals is at 7.00 p.m. Ufa time. The live broadcast will be available on the BST TV channel.
