Moscow's 12-game win streak catapults them into second place, but gain very little ground on first place

[scoop 3,447]

The Moscow Menace have put together a 12-game win streak, matching the Los Angeles Stars earlier run for the longest of the season. With the Bears next on their schedule, it is likely that that Menace will be able to keep it going for at least one more game. The result of the run has been a climb back up in the standings, though they still have a bit further to go if they are going to retake first place.

 

The streak began after a tough stretch for Moscow in which they went 4-8-1, falling from first to fifth in the European Conference. Even still, they were not in a terrible position. Only four points separated them from second place, and they were only ten points behind the first-place Nighthawks. Courtesy of 12 straight victories, the Menace are now in second place, with a nine-point lead over third place. For the first time in the season, Moscow is really starting to put some distance between themselves and the other competitors. Unfortunately for them, Malmo isn't letting up.

 

The Nighthawks are on quite a streak of their own. While they haven't had a double-digit win streak in the season, they are currently on a 15-game point streak, going 14-0-1 in that span, meaning Moscow has only gained one point on the Nighthawks during their undefeated run.
