Sibir @ Salavat Yulaev

Sibir projected starting goalie: Mikhail Berdin @ Salavat Yulaev projected starting goalie: Semyon Vyazovoi

Salavat Yulaev owns 5-on-5, but the goalie trends point the other way.

Salavat Yulaev leads the 5-on-5 xG share 53.2% to 43.5% this season. Results haven't followed: 8-6-1 with a 46-47 goal differential (27-27 at 5-on-5). Sibir is 5-7-3 at 33-45.

Vyazovoi has a .926 SV% and +13.6 GSAx over 36 home games across two seasons and +3.2 this year, but he's at -5.6 GSAx over his last five, negative in every one. Berdin had .930 and +5.9 GSAx over 16 road games; his season total is -1.6 GSAx, yet he's +4.0 over his last five, positive in every one.

Sibir won two straight one-goal road games; Salavat Yulaev won its last home game. The teams split two meetings earlier this month.

Krasotkin for Sibir (.919 this year, +8.9 road GSAx) would keep its crease solid. Bogdanov for Salavat Yulaev (.873, -2.9 GSAx) would make things shakier for the home side.

In summary, Salavat Yulaev controls the play and Sibir leans on a hot Berdin. Whether Vyazovoi snaps his slump at home is the key.
