???? 3:00: Buffalo Sabers – Columbus Blue Jackets, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Chinakhov continue his scoring streak?
More recently, Yegor Chinakhov, through an agent, expressed discontent with his role in Columbus this year, but that is now a thing of the past. Now, together with Dmitry Voronkov and Kirill Marchenko, he forms the team’s attacking unit, playing almost 20 minutes per game, playing the majority and scoring non-stop. The Russian’s scoring streak now totals four games, in which he scored five goals. We are waiting for new scoring achievements from Egor.
In America they are already thinking about how to beautifully name the Russian troika of Columbus:
The Athletic: If the Columbus coach keeps the Russians together, they will need a nickname
???? 3:00: Toronto Maple Leafs – New York Rangers, NHL regular season
Intrigue: Will Panarin take another step towards the Rangers’ great record?
Artemi Panarin plays up to his status as an NHL superstar and one of the most legendary clubs this season. He is the fourth leading scorer in the league with 42 points in 29 games, and in home games he has never left the ice without scoring points and will repeat the great Rangers record of 42 years ago. If Panarin scores at least one point in the meeting with Toronto, then Mike Rogers’ achievement (15 consecutive scoring games at home at the beginning of the 1983/1984 season) will be one step closer.
We have compiled everything about the long-awaited anniversaries of our guys in the NHL:
What achievements will the Russians in the NHL achieve in the near future?

Intrigue: Will Kucherov surpass Yashin in career NHL points?
Nikita Kucherov is taking the NHL by storm this season: with 52 points in 31 games he leads the scoring race, ahead of McDavid, MacKinnon, Panarin and everyone else. And he moves up the list of legendary Russian goalscorers of all time: this season he has already surpassed Sergei Zubov and Pavel Bure in career points, next in line is Russian captain Alexei Yashin, with whom Nikita currently shares 10th place.
The Tampa captain is not surprised by Kucherov’s spectacular performance:

???? 3:30: New Orleans Pelicans – Memphis Grizzlies, NBA regular season
Intrigue: how will Ja Morant perform in his first game after his return?
This is where Morant will return after missing the first 25 games of the season due to a gun scandal. “Memphis failed so catastrophically during the period without its leader that making the playoffs seems like an impossible task for this season. Six wins and 19 losses, 13th place in the West. In past seasons, the Grizzlies looked extremely respectable in the games Ja missed, but now the team has seemingly been overcome by systemic issues. Can a controversial point guard help solve them?
Morant’s reflection:

Intrigue: will the residents of Kemerovo take their next glasses to St. Petersburg?
This season, Kuzbass scored points in every game: although he lost, it was only in five games. Which means he took away at least one point! For example, the last three matches, with Zenit Kazan, Dynamo and Lokomotiv, confirmed the viability of Alexey Babeshin’s team: the residents of Kemerovo are on fire! The St. Petersburg team feels completely different, having lost three times in their last six games and occupying eighth place in the Super League.
Kuzbass continues to give his main rivals nightmares:
A game of missed opportunities. The leader of the Czech volleyball team was one step away from failure, but he was saved

???? Match with text broadcast
Intrigue: will Barcelona beat the worst team in the Spanish Championship?
Barcelona comes into the game in a bad mood: three games without winning. And if the meeting with Antwerp (2:3) in the Champions League actually had no importance in the tournament, then failures in the Example can be expensive. It got to the point that the difference with the leader increased to nine points and with the second team to seven. Now Xavi’s team has a good chance of rehabilitating itself, because it will face the worst club in the League. Almería has never won in the league and is in last place.
