Overtime Needed

No Overtime (Confidence: 70%)

Both teams' weak late-game resilience (combined average: 1.75/15) decreases overtime probability significantly, as neither squad demonstrates consistent clutch performance. Kuznetskie's 0 late-game resilience rating specifically indicates third-period execution breakdowns, while JHC Molot's minimal 3.5 rating fails to compensate. This creates a scenario where regulation-time separation is more likely than extended play given the teams' defensive vulnerabilities and offensive inconsistency.
