After the intense showdown with Sokil, our team had no time for rest and today will start the trip to Odesa.
The upcoming match against Oleksandr Bobkin’s team holds equal importance, as the gap in the standings between the two teams is now just four points. Capitals currently hold the upper hand in second place.
Vadim Shakhraichuk’s squad lost last night in a thrilling derby that went into overtime. On the other hand, Storm-Odesa secured a convincing win against Kremenchuk with a score of 5:2 on their home ice.
It’s worth mentioning that our upcoming opponent is in rather good form, having clinched seven victories in their last eight games. Interestingly, the head-to-head stats between the two opponents are evenly matched. Each team has claimed one victory in regulation time and one in the shootout.
As we gear up for our fifth encounter in the championship, we eagerly await to see which team will tip the scales in their favor and break this deadlock.
