On February 11, SKA's new ice arena was opened, now the team is on a home-and-home series, and SKA has not lost points in its new home so far - 4 wins in a row. And the team's calendar has been pretty tough, and in the last game SKA managed to win in regulation time, losing to Torpedo 1-3 in the 3rd period. Thanks to these successes, SKA has secured the first place in the Western Conference.
Severstal is also in great shape right now - 4 wins in a row, but all games were on home ice. The away games are not so confident, in the last away game Severstal lost to Vityaz.
The last face-to-face meeting ended in a win for Severstal, but we expect SKA to finish the home series at the new arena with another triumph.
Prediction: SKA to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.67
