Lev's regular season was planned to start on 10 September 2011 with a match at home against Avangard Omsk, but because of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, the start of the season was postponed and Lev had their first game on 12 September against Metallurg Magnitogorsk.

Lev also failed to qualify for the play-offs and ended the season as 21st overall, with 54 points from 54 games. The team's top scorer was Lubos Bartecko with 30 points.
