Hockey. KHL. SKA – Locomotive. Direct
The central match of the day on Monday, January 29, as part of the regular KHL championship, will be the confrontation between SKA Saint Petersburg and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the northern capital. For now, the first and third teams in the Western Conference standings will face each other. However, the plot of the match is that if they win, the guests will beat the Army team by one point. Note that this is the last home match of the St. Petersburg team, which it will play at the Ice Palace, since in February the SKA moves to a new arena of the same name.
Three days ago, Roman Rotenberg’s team beat their main rival on home ice, CSKA Moscow. And she not only surpassed her game, but she did it in excellent style, defeating her opponent with a score of 5: 1. It was this victory that allowed the St. Petersburg military to take the top of the Western Conference standings. But quite recently Lokomotiv was at the forefront of the division. However, two consecutive defeats dropped the Yaroslavl club to third place. It is noteworthy that Igor Nikitin’s team lost both times at home and their opponents were clubs from the bottom of the standings. Lokomotiv first lost to HC Sochi (1:2), then to Dynamo Minsk (3:5).
The statistics of personal meetings between teams this season look very interesting. The rivals have already met five times. Three matches took place in Yaroslavl and the ice owners could only win one – the very first, which took place on September 8, 2023 (3:2). Well, in the future, only the guests won this confrontation, and all victories were with a one-goal advantage. Interestingly, SKA and Lokomotiv won with scores of 3:2 and 2:1. Their last meeting took place in St. Petersburg on January 5 of this year. Then the “railway workers” responded to Bardakov’s puck from the military team with accurate shots from Kayumov and Ivanov.
