Since Ak Bars won Neftekhimik in its series, and Admiral won Salavat Yulaev, respectively, the opponent for the hawks will be the winner of the Avtomobilist-Metallurg pair. They are still sorting out their relationship in their series, now there is a 3-2 match score in favor of Yekaterinburg. And the teams will play the sixth game on Sunday, March 12.
