Dynamo Msk @ Torpedo

Dynamo Msk projected starting goalie: Vladislav Podyapolsky @ Torpedo projected starting goalie: Denis Kostin

Dynamo leads on 5v5 xG%, Torpedo leads in results, and Podyapolsky's road record sits far above his current-season numbers.

Dynamo's 5v5 xG% this season is 56.0 over 17 games, against 53.2 for Torpedo over 14. The results run the other way. Dynamo is 6-9 with 2 OT losses and a 33-47 goal difference (15-25 at 5v5). Torpedo is 9-4 with 1 OT loss and a 40-25 goal difference (27-17 at 5v5).

In goal, Podyapolsky has a .935 SV%, +10.9 GSAx and a 12-8 record in 24 road games over the last two seasons. This season he is at .907, +0.9 and 4-6 in 12 games, with -2.2 GSAx over his last five. Kostin has a .916 SV%, +3.6 GSAx and a 14-10 record in 26 home games. This season he is at .928, +2.3 and 4-4, with +1.1 GSAx over his last five.

Dynamo lost 0-1 at CSKA last time out. Torpedo has lost two straight, 2-3 in OT and 2-3 in regulation. Torpedo won the Oct. 1 meeting 3-1, a small sample.

Neither goalie is confirmed. If Dynamo starts Maxim Motorygin, that is .884, -2.7 GSAx and 0-4 in five starts this season, and -3.1 GSAx on the road. If Torpedo starts Dmitry Shugayev, that is .947, +3.0 GSAx and 3-1 in four starts, but -0.2 GSAx at home.

In summary, Dynamo has the better shot quality and Torpedo has the better results. The key is whether Podyapolsky plays to his road record or to this season's form.
