Dynamo Msk @ CSKA

Dynamo Msk projected starting goalie: Vladislav Podyapolsky @ CSKA projected starting goalie: Alexander Samonov

CSKA owns 5-on-5, but the projected goalie numbers lean Dynamo's way.

CSKA leads the 5-on-5 xG share 65.5% to 55.7%. CSKA is 11-3 (49-27, 32-11 at 5-on-5). Dynamo is above 50% yet sits at 6-8-2 and 15-25 at 5-on-5. CSKA's power play is at 31.6% to Dynamo's 21.6%, with penalty kills of 65.9% and 73.2%.

Podyapolsky has a .934 SV% and +10.1 GSAx over 23 road games across two seasons (12-7), though he's at .903 and +0.1 this year and -2.0 over his last five. Samonov is 5-0 this season with +0.9 GSAx, but .884 and -8.2 GSAx in 14 home games over two seasons - those wins came largely from the team.

CSKA has won five straight, beating Dynamo twice in that run (5-2 and 4-3 in a shootout). Dynamo won in overtime last time out.

Gamzin for CSKA (+11.4 home GSAx over two seasons) would firm up the CSKA net. Motorygin for Dynamo (.884, -2.7, 0-4) would make Dynamo's net shakier.

In summary, CSKA controls the play and Dynamo leans on Podyapolsky's road form. Whether CSKA turns its 5-on-5 edge into goals is the key.
