KHL 8 January 2020 - from Riga to Tallinn via Moscow

8 January 2020

Spartak Moscow vs. Jokerit Helsinki

Finland's representation in the KHL is on a special road trip that will actually lead the team to a couple of home games away from home. As in years gone by, Jokerit are taking their show offshore, playing both home fixtures against Severstal Cherepovets in Tallinn. Before that, they will have to pass yet another test on the road. After Riga on 6 January it will be Spartak at the CSKA arena. Also for Spartak this is a special sequence of games in that back-to-back home matches are fairly rare in the KHL.

Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk vs. Barys Nur-Sultan

Barys will be looking forward to their flight home to Kazakhstan, but before that they will have to prove themselves against one of the surprise packages of the league. Neftekhimik on their day can mix it with the very best and a playoff berth is not yet out of reach, even if the way there is longer now than in other times. Picking some points of 3rd-placed Barys would actually prove really handy for the second best outfit from Tatarstan.

Dinamo Riga vs. Severstal Cherepovets

Severstal is onto an interesting short trip this time, off to the Baltic capitals Riga and Tallinn. They are using "their" new toy once again, flying from Cherepovets to Riga on a Severstal Superjet. Meanwhile Dinamo Riga will probably look to bounce back from last night's heavy defeat at home against the red hot Jokerit as soon as possible.
