Club facts

HC Sochi have only been competing in the KHL for the past two years, and in both campaigns they have made the Gagarin Cup playoffs. Nevertheless, they are yet to win a single game in the post-season, and they will be looking to change that this time around. A large number of new faces have arrived during recent weeks, and this regenorated group of players won't lie down easily.

Their first Sochi Hockey Open game displayed their best qualities perfectly, as they came back from behind five times to beat SKA Saint Petersburg 6:5 in overtime.
