The final series may end today, as Metallurg leads 3-0, but it will be much harder to win the fourth game in Yaroslavl, especially since Lokomotiv is gaining experience each time (remember, Lokomotiv reached the final for only the second time in recent history).
All 3 games were hard fought and with very few goals (maximum 3 goals), and almost all goals were in the third period. We don't think there will be a lot of pucks today, as the stakes are very high, Lokomotiv and Metallurg are trying to play very carefully with few penalty minutes.
Prediction: 5 goals to be scored or fewer. We recommend the “Under 5” bet, odds 1.53
