However, if we only take into account matches from the start of the season, then the previous record had been set in the 2016/2017 campaign when SKA tallied a minimum of one point in all of the opening 18 home games at the Ice Palace.

This marked the 100th competitive game between SKA and CSKA Moscow in the KHL. So far, SKA have earned 39 regulation wins, 9 in overtime and a further 4 in penalty shootouts.
