A fundamental game of two rivals, they played in the final series of the Gagarin Cup last season and gave us an impressive match! The army team won the series with a comeback and snatched victory from Metallurg Magnitogorsk with the score 1:3. CSKA has some minor changes in its composition. Goalkeeper Fedotov did not reach the NHL club of the Moscow team and now serves in the army. John Gilmour left the club, going to Minsk “Dynamo”, while Sergei Andronov moved to Yaroslavl “Locomotive”. Alexander Popov has joined the ranks of the technical staff of the army club, Claes Dahlbeck is now in Switzerland. Two goalkeepers joined the CSKA team: Anton Todykov and Alexander Sharychenkov. Defensemen: Dmitry Alekseev, Yaroslav Dyblenko, Sweden’s Fredrik Klasson, Ivan Rogov and returning NHL forward Maxim Mamin. The Moscow club is fully ready for the season, as evidenced by the team’s good equipment.

Now regarding Metallurg. Two legionnaires left the team: Linus Hultstrom and Linus Videll. The players returned home to Sweden. Ivan Nalimov, Mikhail Grigoriev and Mikhail Pashnin also left the club. Eddie Pasquale has come to the Lokomotiv team, which is ready to become the first number in the frame. ‘Magnitogorsk’ won’t be easy in this match, but the team still have good players in the attacking line and so we should see a real confrontation, as it was six months ago!

We are hoping for great hockey to be held at CSKA Arena at 7:00 p.m. Moscow time. The 15th season in the history of the Kontinental Hockey League will begin with a match for the opening cup between the finalists of the last Gagarin Cup: CSKA – Metallurg!
