The Riga “Dinamo” team went on a trip without several leaders. The club has been affected by Covid-19 twice a season.
The head coach Peter Skudra and his assistants Alexander Niživijs and Raimonds Vilkoits are not away with “Dinamo”. The team is led by Dmitry Parhomenko.
Captain Lauris Dārziņš, goalkeepers Stanislavs Gaļimovs, Iļja Proskurjakovs, defenders Jānis Jaks, Roberts Mamčics, attackers Mārtiņš Dzierkals, Konstantins Komareks, Miks Indrašis, Mets Vaits and several other hockey players in the application have also stayed at home.
“Dinamo” consists of several hockey players playing in HK “Riga”. Recently, the performance on the ice has been far from desirable, experiencing eight losses in a row.
In the previous match, “Dinamo” capitulated in front of “Avtomobilist” in Ekaterinburg with 2: 7. Baris, on the other hand, beat Beijing’s Red Star in the last game 2: 1, but had suffered four consecutive losses.
“Baris” and “Dinamo” have met 24 times in the history of KHL so far, five of which have been won by Riga in the regular time, two successes have been achieved in the post-match series and one in extra time.
Riga “Dinamo” with seven points in 16 games is the weakest team in the Western Conference and in the whole league, but the 18 points earned by “Baris” in 17 matches give the 10th position in the Eastern Conference.
