Lokomotiv to hit the ice again on Sep 7

Lokomotiv faces Neftekhimik at home trying to achieve its second win after a good thumping of Traktor on Sunday.
At the same time, Vityaz tries to stretch a nice winning streak to start its season welcoming a slumping Barys side, who’s yet to win its first game.
In Belarus, Dinamo Minsk is off to a good start and will certainly want to defeat Salavat Yulaev to keep the ball rolling. However, Ufa didn’t impress in the first games and will try to revert the trend. Moreover, Dinamo Minsk won its latest home game against Salavat a whopping eight years ago.
In a classic showdown, SKA hosts Avangard in St. Petersburg, and HC Sochi welcomes Dynamo Moscow. Despite facing two sides with a negative record, both SKA and Dynamo Moscow shouldn’t think they won already – Avangard and Sochi won’t be easy clients to deal with.
