Optibet League. September 26, 16:30. Vilnius, Pramogu Arena.
For the second time in ten days, our team will play against the Vilnius squad. This time – at their rink.
Oleg Tymchenko’s wards approach the head-to-head meeting in second place with six points. The Kyiv team initially had a highly unsuccessful game against Mogo/RSU (2:9), but then quite convincingly defeated Liepaja in a road matchup (5:0).
Hockey Punks also picked up points in their next two games, beating Prizma on the road (4:2) and falling only in overtime to last year’s silver medalists, Zemgale/LBTU (5:6). Currently, Elmo Aittola’s squad sits in sixth place with three points to their name.
This season, the top scorers for both opponents are Kyiv Capitals forward Deivids Sarkanis with 9 points (4+5), while among the Lithuanians, Lauri Huhdanpaa has tallied 7 points (0+7).
Looking at the overall history of their matchups, all six encounters have ended in victories for the Ukrainian representatives. The highest number of points in games against Hockey Punks was recorded by our team’s now-former forward, Daniil Fursa – 11 points (4+7). On the Vilnius roster, Benas Beliсenka has 3 points (1+2) to his credit.
Therefore, we approach the upcoming match with full responsibility in order to keep winning and wrap up the game week on a positive note.
