Salavat Yulaev Ufa and Ak Bars Kazan meet at Ufa Arena on October 25 with the head-to-head ledger tilting toward the visitors. Ak Bars have won five of the last eight meetings, including the most recent one — a 4-3 win in Ufa in September — so the hosts carry home ice and a historical deficit into this one.

The form lines point in different directions. Salavat Yulaev are W-L-W in the last 3 games, and their latest outing was a wild 5-4 win over Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Ak Bars are L-L-W, beaten by Traktor Chelyabinsk (1-3) and Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod (1-2) before a 4-1 rout of Dinamo Minsk.

Watchlist
  • Whether Salavat Yulaev can carry the momentum of their 5-4 win in Magnitogorsk into a first win over Ak Bars since January.
  • Ak Bars seeking to stop a two-game skid after losses to Traktor Chelyabinsk and Torpedo, with the 4-1 win at Dinamo Minsk their recent high point.
  • The margins: 4 of the last 8 meetings were decided by two goals or fewer, and September's meeting in Ufa was a one-goal game.
