Even without handicap, just take it. They will bounce back from yesterday defeat and will finish the series today! For those who want bigger odds, take -1,5, although value is gone there already…
The latest news: they will play in the same arena and with spectators. There will be only some bodyguards (cops and security stuff) surrounding Salavat Ufa bench.

Usually it is East that is considered to be mystery. In hockey it is West that looks mystery for me. Although after some 
analysis I’ve got my mistakes, both on Dinamo Riga and MVD unders and will get back to them in my preview for tomorrow games. But now I will focus on 2 matches in eastern conference Day 2 matches.
Salavat Ufa – Avtomobilist
Pick: Salavat (-2,5)
Chances to progress: 100/0
1st match between this 2 teams proved me right immediately from the start of the game. Avtomobilist was no where near Salavat and they were blown away in yesterday game. Ekaterinburg wasted too much energy, both physical and moral, to get to the play-off Read more…
Day 1 showed us what can do an inspired team against team who underestimated its opponent. Dinamo Riga was fired 
up for the 1st game, at the same time SKA was looking like a team, that somewhere deep inside thinks that whatever happens in the match, they will still win it. That kind of attitude is always dangerous and Dinamo Riga showed just why. Today we will see another scenario – angry on themselves big SKA team against the Dinamo Riga who will be starting to believe that they can make it through to the next round. By all rules it is better to stay away from that kind of back-2-back matches, I will just share my thoughts on some of the fixtures today. Here are my predictions for today games. Read more…
So today I will make 3 picks on 2 matches. The time is running out for those chasing KHL play-offs places. Dinamo Riga has crucial games before Olympic tournament against Dinamo Minsk (won 5:4), Vitiaz Chekhov, CSKA Moscow and Torpedo NN. Salavat has different motivations – they are fighting for the 1st place in the regular season. Thats 2 teams that will be involving in my picks.
So lets take a look on my picks
