Match report
Novosibirsk and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl met in the Kontinental Hockey League on Sunday, with the visitors taking all three points with a 2:1 win. The result extends the gap at the summit of the table.
Novosibirsk paid for a sloppy opening. They had won their previous home game 5:1 against Sochi but lost their last outing 2:3 to Barys Astana. Lokomotiv came into the fixture after a 1:3 defeat to Khabarovsk, but they have won four of their nine matches this season.
Our prediction called for a away victory with 57 per cent confidence and it came good. Lokomotiv showed more composure when it mattered, turning it around after the break to take the lead and then kept their nerve. The hosts had one chance to equalise but could not find the net.
Novosibirsk remain tenth after eight games with two wins and six losses. Lokomotiv move further clear at the top with seven victories from nine outings. The line has barely moved for the leaders, but the margin grows.
