Nottingham Panthers – Lulea Hockey 0:1
Vrana is considered to be one of the most promising prospects of Czech hockey. Being 18 years old, he already played on three U18 and two U20 world championships. Vrana has been drafted as 13th overall by Washington Capitals this NHL draft and spent some time in their development camp this summer, but should spent upcoming season in SEL. Vrana took his first hockey steps in Letnany, ice rink at Prague's outskirts and is the most famous product of local humble club so far.
HV71-Red Bull Salzburg 1:1 after first period.
At the same time, KalPa Kuopio – Mannheim Adler is 0:0. Both teams lost first game on Thursday. Växjö Lakers beat Mannheim 6-1 and KalPa lost Sparta Prague 5-4.
Nottinhgam Panthers – Lulea Hockey 1:5.
Game is special for Turku's defenceman Jakub Nakladal, who has been guarding the blueline for Pardubice since being 15. He played in KHL (Ufa, Spartak Moscow and Lev Praha) for last three years and recently strengthened TPS Turku. Nakladal noted 75 caps for Czech national team.
Kloten was the controlling team in the first period. Gerber got 6 saves while Tarkki gathered 8 saves. JYP had some really big problems in opening the game. Kloten was really energetic but couldn't capitalize in their scoring chances. Vincent Praplan, 20-years-old prodigy of Kloten, who scored twice in his first CHL game, hit the post early in the game.
Linköping – Bolzano 4:0 after 2nd period.
Lulea tallied 6 goals in the 2nd period, Karl Fabricius is already on a hattrick, one of the goals being shorthanded. There's not a lot you can really say more after that.
Salzburg has been better in the second period and took the lead after a powerplay goal by John Fahey. Andreas Johansson, HV71's head coach took a time-out at 25:35, but in spite of it, Red Bull has been creating other scoring chances. Erik Ersberg in the home net already recorded 25 saves after in 40 minutes. Ersberg replaced Gustaf Wesslau who has been between the pipes in HV71's first game with Kloten.
TPS – Pardubice 0:1 with 2 minutes left in the second period.
HV71 – Red Bull Salzburg 2:2 early in the third period.
Prague's side took an early lead by Rolinek, but Stromwall managed to equalize as he deflected the Noah Welch's shot past Stana.
Swedish fan doesn't seem to be happy with HV71 team jereys – "but who cares if your team wins?"
Another powerplay goal for JYP, now Erik Perrin took the shot at the point and scores at far post. Petr Hubacek had the biggest scoring opportunity for JYP in the remainder of the second period, but Martin Gerber was on his place then.
38 years old Perrin, who has been born in Laval, Quebec, serves as JYP captain for third season. He was the man who hoisted the European Trophy after JYP won it last year..
Linköping HC – HC Bolzano 5:0 final score.
55:34 on the clock and Salzburg is having a time out, as HV71's is penalized, 2 minutes for Jämtin.
It was close in the first period, as a Brandon Benedict goal brought the Panthers to within one goal after the opening period. However, Lulea scored six times in the second period to blow their British opponents away. Karl Fabricius scored a hattrick, while Cam Abbott, Stephen Dixon and Lennart Petrell had three points each. Lulea top Group K with two wins out of two.
got a better luck scoring from the neutral zone. 3243 spectators saw the game.
HV71 – Red Bull Salzburg 3:5, final score.
Timonen´s power play goal was enough for the home team to win. Mannheim did a decent job, but remains with no points after the second gameday.
Home team goalie Eero Kilpelainen joins Teemu Lasilla (TPS), Simon Hrubec (Trinec) and David Rautio (Linköping) who already recorded a shutout in the CHL.
Tuomas Tarkki is another goalie with shutout tonight. Maenpää and Perrin scored for JYP who leads the group I with two wins out of 2 games.
Pardubice could be happy with their goaltending, but disappointed with other aspects of play. They dressed Tomas Halasz in their first game in Linköping and he made 37 saves, today's performance of Robert Kristan with 38 saves has been pretty good as well. But out of 47 shots Pardubice scored only 2 goals in 120 minutes of play.
On the other side, TPS (and their fans) couldn't be happier with their CHL results. They destroyed Bolzano 9-0 in the first game and recorded important victory with Pardubice today.
"Victory, once again"
"On location in Zlin after a lot of problems. Can say it was the project of the century to get here," tweets a Swedish fan.

On Friday, Hamburg fell 4-1 on home ice to Lulea hockey, while Lukko Rauma won 4-2 in Nottingham. Hamburg's goal as scored by Adam Mitchell, who will wear the Top Scorer jersey today. For Lukko it will be Aaron Gagnon, who also scored a goal. Lukko Rauma is in their gold jerseys while the Freezers are playing in their navy blue.
Hamburg's Philippe Dupuis, who received a match penalty in Friday's game, has had the automatic one-game suspension rescinded by the CHL's Disciplinary Committee and will not be able to play in this game.
Växjö Lakers – Sparta Praha 2:3 in 46th minute.
Petr Leska has been sent off for hooking and Sebastian Laurizen's shot found its way through the traffic. Libor Kasik saw it in the very last moment and did not manage to stop the puck.
His rotation created a space for Rolinek, who has been waiting at the left post, but instead of shot Rolinek found Lukas Pech who had an easy job to tip the puck to the empty net.
Pech and Kumstat are famous "twins" of Czech hockey. Pech, who is only 172 cm tall, and Kumstat with his 197 cm are incomparable in a matter of height, but has found a great chemistry playing with each other. After a 10 seasons in Karlovy Vary, both moved to Sparta in summer 2013.
Sell-out crowd (Tumba was a international star at that time, best forward of 1962 world championships) saw a home team victory 5:3 with Motorlet. After the game, Tumba returned to Sweden.
5 seconds before the final whistle, Michal Barinka scores in 5-3 powerplay. Lukas Pech had an assist on this goal so both Pech and Kumstat are with 4 points today and their line with Rolinek basically gets a full credit for Sparta's victory.
Sparta is travelling home with 5 points from two road games which is a great start for Prague's team as Sparta leads the group G.
Both teams will meet again in two weeks in Prague.
DIF's Sorenson got a 2+10 penalty for checking to the head and neck area late in the second period and it allowed Zlin to score their 2nd goal of the game, Petr Cajanek was the scorer.
Home team's captain Cajanek was missing the inaugural CHL game on Friday as Zlin was travelling to Berlin because he took part in Pavol Demitra tribute charity game in Trencin, Slovakia along with Gaborik, Satan, Bondra, Nash or Bartecko. Pavol Demitra passed away in the plane crash of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in 2011.
You can read the full story about the Pavol Demitra here.
After retiring, he coached in France, Italy, Switzerland and eventually Germany. Hamburg Freezers won the regular season in 2013–14 DEL, but lost semifinals to ERC Ingolstadt in 6 games.
Jiri Marusak, PSG Zlin defenceman, did play for Djurgarden in 2006-07 and 2007-08 campaings. He meets his then team-mate Daniel Fernholm in current DIF roster.
Zlin is now leading group D with 5 points (they won after penalty shots in Berlin on Friday), Djurgarden is third with 2 points.
Zlin could celebrate with the crowd as they were able to give them a great support during the game.
"A fairly even match to this point has Lukko up 1-0 after two periods of play. Neither team has had more than a handful of chances at this point and although Lukko has been showing a bit more in the puck-possession department, the Freezers have been responsible for most of the game's big checks" – writes our reporter in his conclusion after 40 minutes of play from O2 world in Hamburg.
Hamburg Freezers – Lukko Rauma 0:2.
Kousa, Nurmi and Virtanen scores for Finnish side. The first period was very even and concluded 0-0, but after that there was little the Freezers could do to create any sustained attack and seriously place Lukko under pressure. Lukko on the other hand was able to create some better opportunities and capitalize on the 3 of them. The 2nd goal appears to have been back breaker – it wasn't very clear that the goal was even scored.
Lukko Rama and Lulea Hockey are now with 6 points on top of the Group K standings, Hamburg and Nottingham without a single point. (20:11:25)
