    Shots on goal for HC Davos – 39 ( 12, 20, 7 )
    IFK Helsinki 25 ( 8, 7, 10 ) (22:04:22)
     
    Perttu Lindgren the star of the night here in the mountains, his two goals setting Davos on the way to a come from behind victory against the gallant visitors from IFK Helsinki.
     
    The hosts HC Davos just had enough left in the tank to run away with the tie in the last few minutes, booking their place in the last 16.
     
    Game over.
     
    59:20

    59:00
    Empty net Helsinki.

    Scorer is DARIO SIMION. Unassisted.
    4-2 Davos, 5-4 on aggregate.
     
    58:19

    Power play Davos, this the chance they've been waiting for.

    The fans are all on their feet here as Davos call a time-out to discuss tactics. Here we go!
     
    58:00
    Into the final two minutes.
     
    56:26
    Just to remind you that if the scores remain all square on aggregate at the end of 60 minutes tonight, we'll be heading to overtime and then if needed penalty shots.
     
    55:13
    Shots on goal in the third period, now 10-3 for the visitors from Helsinki.
     
    55:00
    5 mimns to go and the big guns are back out there.

    Great short-handed hussle by 2 goal scorer Lindgren, and the penalty is almost over.
     
    51:52
    Paulsson 2 mins for slashing.

    Davos wil be short-handed for the next 2 mins.
     
    51:01
    We have 9 minutes remaining in this one, who will be next to strike?
     
    50:44
    Some handbags in front of Genoni after he makes a nice save.
     
    49:08
    A delection off a second broken IFK stick forces a face-off in their zone.
     
    47:50
    Great fore-checking by Sciaroni and Dino Wieser doesn't come to anything as Helsinki ride the storm and clear.
     
    46:49
    Just after I say that, Helsinki themselves force a face-off in the Davos end after an extended bit of pressure.
     
    46:10
    The hosts certainly look the more likely to score here as they are first to almost every 50/50 pouck.
     
    44:47
    Big save Genoni from the slot.
     
    42:40
    Second of the game for Lindgren, does he have one more in his bag???
     
    41:13
    Goal for Davos!

    40:43
    Rask 2 mins for roughing.
    Ambuehl 2 mins for roughing.
     
    40:43
    Ambuehl and Rask mix it up for over 30 seconds deep in the Davos zone and we're gonna have penalties. Not quite sure what started that but Rask was really upset at the Davoser.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    The hosts are now also ready, let's go!
     
    Helsinki make their way back onto the ice for the third period.
     
    The second period ends just as the first did, all square. The visitors from Finland still have a one goal lead overall in this tight tie, it currently stands at 4-3.

    HC Davos just couldn't make their domination count, firing off a massive 20 shots to 7 in the middle stanza. Will they be made to rue these missed chances or can they find the cutting edge from somewhere? Who wants to be their Johnny on the spot!?

    Helsinki will be happy with the scoreline here as they have been under a lot of pressure, especially in the latter stages of that second period – if the scores stay as they are, it's the Finns who will be in the draw for the last 16.

    3rd period begins at 21.20 CET.
     
    40:00
    2nd period finished.

    35:35

    Powerplay Davos, can they make it count?
     
    34:53
    Back to 5 on 5.
     
    34:18
    A long period of Davos pressure here 4 on 4, but Helsinki manage to clear with 20 seconds remaining on the penalties.
     
    32:52
    Coincidental minors here on Paulsson for Davos and Jarvinen for IFK as they mix it up behind the play.

    Paulsson 2 mins for slashing
    Jarvinen 2 mins for slashing
     
    31:50
    Goal for IFK Helsinki!

    Corey ELKINS - 2:2
     
    31:39
    The game has lost it's shape here for a few minutes, with most of the play between the two blue lines.
     
    29:50
    IFK almost caught with too many men on the ice there at the bench.
     
    28:43
    Shots 24 to 11 for Davos so far, but they only have one goal more to show for it – will they be made to pay for not capitalising on more of their shots?
     
    27:48
    Marc Wieser almost makes a mess of a simple clear-out in front of his own goal, but the IFK forward couldn't quite get a handle on the puck and Davos ice the puck.
     
    27:00
    Ambuehl comes close for the hosts as he tries to roof it short side.
     
    23:08
    Davos ask for a tv replay here on their very next shot, but it's ruled out as it hit the cross-bar.
     
    22:00
    2-1 Davos, and this one is tied at 3!
     
    21:53
    Goal for Davos!
    Walser wins the faceoff and sets up BEAT FORSTER for a slapper that was deflected in by Helsinki Dman Joonas Jarvinen. Unassisted. 2-1, 3-3 on aggregate.
     
    21:49
    Quick start to the second period here by the visitors, can they regain their two goal lead overall?

    Face-off now in their zone.
     
    21:02
    Another save on CTS Partanen.
     
    20:40
    Puustinen has a shot from the short side saved by Genoni.

    Shots on goal for the first period: Davos 12 (12) Helsinki 8 (8)
     
    The period comes to a close and we don't see a shift in the balance of this match-up yet – the visitors from IFK Helsinki still hold a one goal lead overall and it's now 2-3.

    2nd period will start at 20.30 CET.
     
    20:00

    Just to remind you that Davos trail this tie by one goal, after losing the game in Helsinki by 2 goals to 1.
     
    08:57
    We're approaching the halfway point of the first period, and so far neither team has been able to grab this game by the scruff of the neck, who will be the first to strike?

    Back to even strength.
     
    07:10
    Almost a shorthanded goal for IFK through Asten, but he puts the backhander wide – so close!

    Tonights hosts HC Davos have found some hot form coming into the second leg of this CHL tie with IFK Heksinki, having won their last 3 games in the Swiss National League. They'd had a slow start to the league campaign, but now sit in 4th place, directly behind Switzerland's other survivor in the 2015/16 CHL, the Zurich Lions.

    Keep your eye out in particular for number 31 Marcus Paulsson, who leads the league in goalscoring with 7 in 9 games. Center Perttu Lindgren has lead the playmaking for Davos with 8 assists, with captain Andreas Ambühl also finding his scoring touch again, notching 2+5 in his 9 games. These 3 players are on a hot streak at the right time, and each have 4 points in their last 3 games.

    HIFK Helsinki are in a very similar position to Davos, lying in 4th place in the Finnish LIIGA. They are also HOT right now, with 8 wins in their last 9 games in all competitions. 6 of those games were decided by one goal, and 4 went at least to OT so it hasn't all been plain sailing!

    Juuso Puustinen is their man with of the moment, who with 6+4 in just 8 games is 4th in league scoring.
     
    “We have a chance, will you be there?” asks HC Davos’ website in the build up to tonight’s game, which sees the Swiss side just needing a goal to level the tie against Helsinki. In their first CHL season, Davos have overcome Farjestad and Pardubice to get this far.

    Their opponents HIFK beat Karpat 3-2 over the weekend to come into the game off the back of a win, and are aiming to make the last 16 for the second year in a row.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
