Continental Hockey League regular season 2023/2024. Third match of the day and another attempt by Tolyatti's Lada to outplay the conference leader. Previously, they beat the leader of the East, but now, the Western leader in the form of Dynamo Moscow is in town.

Lada Tolyatti

Everyone expected Lada to collapse, especially with three leading attackers absent. Yet, following a pause, they played four matches, won two of them and lost one in overtime. Notably, they outplayed Magnitogorsk, the conference leader. Structuralising the strength, Lada is in fourth position in the Eastern conference, with 55 points from 45 matches. Their attack strategy, with only 113 goals, ranks sixth in the conference, whereas, tackling 110 goals against, is ranked seventh.

Dynamo Moscow

Dynamo has slipped to the second position in the West. Though they have a match in hand and lead Spartak in terms of losses, they already conceded to Lokomotiv. To regain the first position, Dynamo should minimise point losses. After the pause, Dynamo had four matches, won three and lost one to SKA St. Petersburg. With 62 points from 44 matches, Dynamo secures the second place in the standings, parallelly, they rank second in goals scored – 136, and fifth in goals conceded – 106.
