Stalnye Lisy vs Tolpar

Playing as part of a pre-season tournament in Magnitogorsk, the junior affiliate of Salavat Yulaev Ufa edged the Metallurg Magnitogorsk feeder team by a single goal. Exact goal timings and scorers were not recorded in official match data, but the 3-2 scoreline suggests a tight, competitive contest — typical of early pre-season meetings between MHL sides.

For Stalnye Lisy, this result is a useful early test against a fellow MHL programme as they prepare for the 2026/27 regular season. Tolpar, who hold a strong historical head-to-head record over Stalnye Lisy (22 wins to 15 in 37 previous meetings across all competitions, per AiScore data), will take confidence from maintaining that edge in pre-season conditions.

Both teams continue their pre-season schedules in the coming weeks before the MHL regular season gets underway. The next meeting between these sides in competitive action will depend on the 2026/27 MHL calendar.

With no detailed in-game statistics available from the fixture, the headline numbers tell the essential story: Tolpar scored one more goal than the hosts, and that proved decisive. Pre-season results should be treated with caution — coaches typically experiment with line combinations, ice time distribution, and systems — but the competitive nature of a one-goal game suggests both programmes are at a similar stage of their preparations.
