Khabarovsk beat Dynamo Moscow 4-0 in the KHL on 2026-09-19, a result that will make life awkward for the visitors early in the campaign. By then the hosts had already seen off Barýs 3-1, but this performance carried a different weight. The old head settled them down on home ice, and the visitors failed to carve out much in reply.
And here's the thing about a 4-0 scoreline — it doesn't happen without discipline from both ends. Khabarovsk have kept three clean sheets on the spin recently, and this one felt like they were running out of patience. Dynamo Moscow, meanwhile, blew away in the third period but couldn't recover what they'd lost.
The visitors come into this fixture fifth in the table with six games played, four wins and two defeats. To be fair, they've taken points from Vladivostok twice and edged past Cherepovets 2-0, but momentum can shift fast. They'll need to see it out better next time, because the margin here tells its own story.
Khabarovsk sit ninth after four matches, one win and three losses with zero points on the board. The hosts have lost to Novosibirsk and Magadan twice in as many weeks, so this result ends a run that looked set to drag. There is no value left at that number when you're starting from scratch.
Recent form suggests neither side was heading into this game with momentum. Dynamo lost 3-5 to SKA St Petersburg on 2026-09-07, while Khabarovsk dropped 2-4 to Magadan just three days earlier. That streak of heavy defeats makes this victory feel like more than just three points.
