Metallurg Magnitogorsk has already secured a playoff spot, although the team still has a very tough battle for places 1-3 in the Kharlamov Division, so the regular season is not over for the club yet.
Neftekhimik is still in the playoff zone, but Traktor is only 1 point behind with only 5 games left in the regular season. Now every point can decide everything, that's why betting on a victory of the favorite today will be risky.
Neftekhimik and Metallurg Magnitogorsk are the most prolific teams in the Eastern Conference, the last face-offs have ended with a high number of pucks.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 4.5 + OT" bet, odds 1.43
