"Barys" has announced its upcoming KHL home game against "Avtomobilist."

In 40 matches, the Ural team has accumulated 48 points. Stefan Da Costa (8+28) is among the top assist leaders and scorers in the current championship. Vladimir Galkin ranks in the top 4 goalkeepers of the League by reliability coefficient (2.03). The injured list includes defender Nick Ebert and forward Curtis Volk.

In the last round, Barys also faced issues with converting chances and suffered a home defeat to Lada (0:5). Nikita Boyarkin dealt with 23 shots, while his counterpart Alexander Trushkov saved 24 attempts from the Astana team to change the score. Galym Mambetaliev reported that the players allowed themselves some liberties and essentially created several goals against their own net.

The Kazakh team continues its march through the championship with 23 points after 44 games. Despite the tough last match, Nikita Boyarkin has retained his place among the top four goalkeepers in the League based on save percentage (93.2). In the match against Avtomobilist, the debut of forward Nikolai Shulga in the KHL is quite likely. The return of defender Beybaris Orazov is also anticipated, who spent the recent period with the Kazakhstan youth national team.

The match between Barys and Avtomobilist is set to begin at 17:00 Astana time.

The live broadcast of the meeting is scheduled on the "Qazsport" channel.
