SKA have qualified for the 2026 Gagarin Cup playoffs!

As a consequence of tonight’s 4:2 home triumph over Admiral Vladivostok in Saint Petersburg, SKA have officially qualified for the 2025/2026 KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs!

Across 58 matches to date, our players have registered 69 points with 24 wins in regulation time, five in overtime and two in penalty shootouts.

Shanghai Dragons, the sole club currently outside of the top eight with a mathematical chance of making the playoffs, can only now draw level with SKA in terms of points but would still lose out thanks to additional statistics.

This season’s Gagarin Cup playoff campaign will take place between 23 March and 23 May.
