Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg vs. Dinamo Riga

Metallurg Magnitogorsk vs. Slovan Bratislava

It is a three-game stretch away from home for the Slovak team, starting at Magnitka and then moving on to Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg. Their travel arrangements have been a mixed bag in recent years, so it shall be interesting to see what they will be able to come up with this time.


UPDATE: Slovan will get a pick-up by Gazpromavia, though it is yet to be seen whether this will be a Sukhoi Superjet or one of the Boeing 737s:

GZP132 BTS 1310-xxxx MQF (01/09/18)

Spartak Moscow vs. Amur Khabarovsk

The traditional force from the Far East starts off the season all the way to the West, playing the triangle between Spartak, Jokerit and finally HC Sochi.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl vs. Avangard Omsk

Now essentially based in Moscow, the Omsk team will feel how the trip to the North will suddenly be way shorter than it used to be. They will even just fly in and out of Yaroslavl, but the next away job is not far away, with Cherepovets away after a fixture in Moscow against HC Dynamo.

Severstal Cherepovets vs. Sibir Novosibirsk

Another team to start proceedings far away from home, Sibir kicks off the season away at Severstal and there are rumours that they might bring another airline into the KHL travel business in S7 Airlines. Their initial journey from their hometown to Cherepovets will be done with Gazpromavia however:
