The Battle of the Two Tigers: Ak Bars Kazan vs Kunlun Red Star
The regular season of the KHL came to an end last week, with every team playing their final game of the campaign. The 2017-18 KHL playoffs are well underway now, with 16 teams battling it out over the next two months to determine this year’s champion team. We’ve looked at some early winners and losers in this year’s playoffs, but now it’s time to take a closer look at two of the most exciting series still going on in the league – Ak Bars Kazan vs Kunlun Red Star and SKA Saint Petersburg vs Jokerit Helsinki!
Kazan’s main strength is its strong defensive play. The team has only allowed opponents to score one goal in six games. It is also ranked first in penalty kill percentage, meaning that opponents are having trouble scoring on power plays. One of their weaknesses is that they have not scored a lot of goals themselves, averaging about two per game.

It’s a tough call, but I think that Ak Bars Kazan will come out on top in this one. They have been playing together for a lot longer and are more experienced, so I’m going to give them the edge.
As we get closer to December, two teams are fighting for their chance at becoming the 2018-2019 Gagarin Cup Champions. These two teams are Ak Bars Kazan and Kunlun Red Star. Both teams have been playing amazingly this season, but they are not playing against each other until late November.
