Athletistic/Hockey. Today, March 12, the first round of the KHL playoffs ended. All participants and all pairs of the 1/4 finals have been determined. This season will be the first time a cross-playoff system will be used. In other words, each team in the Western Conference received a team from the Eastern Conference as an opponent. Previously, all stages up to the final were played only within their own conference. We invite you to find out what the pairs of the 1/4 finals of the Gagarin Cup would have looked like if the draw had taken place according to the old system.
Western Conference
“Dynamo” (Moscow) – “Spartak” (Moscow)
SKA (Saint-Petersburg) – Lokomotiv (Yaroslavl)
Eastern Conference
“Metallurg” (Magnitogorsk) – “Traktor” (Chelyabinsk)
“Avangard” (Omsk) – “Avtomobilist” (Yekaterinburg)
