Soon an exciting match of the 1/8 playoffs of the Gagarin Cup 2024 will take place at the SKA Arena stadium. Prepare to be immersed in the suspense and tension that accompanies every game in this exciting series.
This year the playoffs begin with the formation of the first round for the 1/8 finals. It includes teams that take the first eight places in the standings of their conferences. One of their advantages is the ability to start a playoff series at home, which usually gives them momentum for success.
In the first round, teams within their conferences play according to the following principle: the first team plays the eighth team, the second team plays the seventh team, and so on. The four losing teams in the round of 16 are eliminated from the tournament, while the remaining four advance to the quarterfinals. And here’s the most interesting thing: at the 1/4 finals stage, the teams are mixed between conferences and divided into two groups. That is, the first West team fights the fourth East team, the second West team fights the third East team, and so on. The winning pairs of these games get the opportunity to advance to the semi-finals, where they compete with each other to determine the final pair. The losing teams in the semi-finals compete for third place. This promises to be a series of real hockey battles!
Summing up, it is impossible not to mention the SKA team - experienced and skilled hockey players who participate in all the KHL playoffs. In past seasons, the club has already won twice and won the Gagarin Cup. This season, SKA took a leading position in the Western Conference, which gives it excellent chances for success.
