That was cruel for Bolzano. Linkoping scored game winnig goal at 58:55. Just off the faceoff draw on the left the puck rolls back to the point to Gustaf Forsling, and he smashes a thunderous slapshot into the net.
Forsling, at 18 still teenager, scored his first goal in a professional league, he hasn't played in the Swedish elite league before.
Home fans could be proud about their team, but this probably won't heal the loss of the points. Bolzano is third in group F and plays back-to-back game with Pardubice.
Linköping becomes the fourth team of CHL with 100% record after this gameday.
Bolzano Foxes battles hard for their chances. On a quick and incisive counterattack the puck rolls to Roland Hoffer waiting just to the left of the crease, and he lashes it into the near corner. The Bolzano fans are in raptures having seen that craved equaliser find the net, and they will be hoping that their momentum can carry them through to cause another big shock. Bolzano already caused a major upset beating TPS Turku 4:2 on Friday. (20:43:19)
There are still another six teams which could earn more or the same number of points as these two leaders of group K. Given the current score difference for both teams (+14 and +26), it's highly unlikely any team will outscore them in this tiebreaker, but there is still theoretical chance of achieving that.
Salzburg is 100% for this weekend and keeps their lead in the group I with 9 points, one point ahead of Jyväskylä. That would be a huge disappointment it they would miss playoffs in a given situation.
Petr Sykora scored initial goal of the shootout, but Tadas Kumeliauskas and Matias Sointu responded with another shots and because Jaroslav Benak hit only the post, TPS Turku takes 2 points from this game.
Pardubice are out of the playoffs regardless the remaining 2 rounds, and their back-to-back games with Bolzano can't change that.
Turku is second with 8 poins, one point behind Linköping, Swedes still have to finish their game in Bolzano (1:0 for LIF at the moment).
An important and huge win for the Kölner Haie in an epic battle between both teams. Kärpät dominated the first period and took an early 2-0 lead. On Friday Kärpät turned the game, but this time it was Köln who turned it into an 3-2 win in regulation time.
Aus den Birken in home net recorded 34 saves, Chris Minard was scoring hero with two goals in the third period.
Cologne takes over Liberec on the second place of group A, one point behind Oulu. Both teams still keeps the chance of winning the group.
And the game is over, Aus den Birken managed to keep his team over the pressure in the final minutes.
And another goal for Salzburg! Brett Sterling, who ironically played for HV71 last season and knows the opponent team well, scored from the tight angle after a nice pass by Hughes. North American cooperation brings Red Bull closer to the victory.
Lanxess arena is boiling after two goals by Chris Minard. Kölner Haie ties the game first, when Chris Minard found himselft alone in front of the open net and got an easy job. Then they capitalized the powerplay by a hard shot from the slot. Five minutes to go in the third.
Red Bull makes a giant leap towards playoffs. Brian Fahey released a nice wrist shot into the right upper corner.
Should Salzburg win the game, they will be really close to the playoffs as they play winless Kloten in the remaining two rounds.
First ever point for Pardubice, but they need another one to keep at least theoretical chances for playoffs.
Finally something has happened of note and the Swedes have taken a well needed lead! Feed up on the left faceoff circle and Oscar Sundh lashes the puck past the netminder and in! 0:1! First CHL goal for Sundh.
