AI SPORTSANALYTICSShanghai Dragons bring back-to-back five-goal wins to Lada Arena, where they beat Lada 5-0 just three weeks ago.
Shanghai Dragons arrive in Tolyatti as the in-form side, having hammered Severstal Cherepovets 5-1 and Sochi 5-2 in their last two games. Lada Togliatti come in on an L-W-L stretch, shut out in two of those three matches, with their lone win a 1-0 grind past SKA St. Petersburg.
The history leans the same way. GUIDE-STAT: Last 8 meetings: Lada Togliatti 2W, 0D, Shanghai Dragons 6W. The most recent meeting, on October 5, finished 0-5 to the Dragons — at Lada Arena, the very ice hosting this rematch. Both of Lada's wins in that span came in Shanghai, so home comfort has offered little protection lately.
