Barys @ Amur

Barys projected starting goalie: Andrei A. Shutov @ Amur projected starting goalie: Maxim Dorozhko

Barys hold the 5v5 xG% edge, but Dorozhko's +12.9 GSAx at home keeps Amur in this one.

Early in the season, so these are 16-game numbers. Barys sit at 48.7 5v5 xG% against 44.6 for Amur, a 4.1-point gap. Barys are 10-6 with a 59-41 goal difference and 41-25 at 5v5. Amur are 8-7-1 at 27-26 overall and 16-20 at 5v5.

Both goalies are hot. Shutov has a .929 SV% and +8.7 GSAx over 22 road games, yet Barys are only 5-10 in those starts, so the goalie did his part and the team did not. This season he is at .954 and +12.2 GSAx over 10 games (5-1), with +6.4 over his last five and a shutout last time out. Dorozhko has a .932 SV% and +12.9 GSAx across 36 home games (16-15). This season it is .947 and +10.4 over 13 games (6-6), with +4.2 over his last five, though he allowed three goals last time.

Barys are on a two-game win streak, including a 1-0 win in Novosibirsk. Amur have lost two straight, the latest 3-4 against Ufa. Barys lost the last meeting 1-3, a small sample.

Neither goalie is confirmed. If Hunter Shepard starts for Barys, he is at .865 and -10.8 GSAx over 10 games (4-5), with -3.7 GSAx on the road. If Alexander A. Trushkov starts for Amur, he is at .957 and +2.9 GSAx over 4 games (2-2), with +0.9 at home.

In summary, if Shutov and Dorozhko start as projected, the goalies look evenly matched and the 4.1-point xG% gap tilts toward Barys. If Shepard replaces Shutov, that edge becomes hard to keep. The goalie confirmation is the key.
