MOSCOW (Interstat) — Ak Bars Kazan, coming off a narrow road victory, travels to face the Shanghai Dragons in a Kontinental Hockey League matchup Sunday at Municipal‘nyj Stadion Stroitel‘ in Mytishchi.

The visiting Ak Bars (18-11-0) edged Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk 3-2 on Friday. Forwards Kirill Semyonov and Alexander Barabanov each recorded a goal and an assist in the win, with Barabanov putting six shots on net. The victory provided a boost for Ak Bars, which had lost three of its previous four games.

Shanghai (14-12-0), which plays as Red Star Kunlun, last played on Nov. 19, securing a 4-3 overtime win at Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. The Dragons have shown resilience lately, winning three of their last four contests.

The game is a rare home outing for the Dragons, who have been on an extended road stretch. They will look to continue their recent form against an Ak Bars squad that has been inconsistent away from Kazan.

Following this contest, Ak Bars will head to Moscow to face Spartak on Tuesday. Shanghai continues its homestand against Traktor Chelyabinsk on Wednesday.
