BOULDER, Colorado -- It has been a busy couple of weeks for Baikal-Energia Irkutsk (8-7-1), and they have clawed their way back into the playoff hunt with their fifth consecutive win.
The streak started with a narrow victory over regional rival Lesokhimik Ust-Ilimsk back on January 20th. That came on the heels of embarrassing losses against Mayak, SKA-Sverdlovsk, and SKA-Neftyanik.

February 3
Baikal-Energia 7:3 Metallurg Bratsk
In that span, Alexander Nasonov has come alive, netting 16 goals to give him 21 on the year to lead the team. Yevgeny Yakovlev has also performed well, scoring six goals along with one assist for 16 points on the year.
Kuzbass Kemerovo still leads the division with a 16-1 record, while SKA-Neftyanik is just two points behind with a game in hand. Baikail has a game on Sibselmash, but they remain seven points ahead with 32. Currently Yenisei Krasnoyarsk is tied with Baikal with 25 points.
