Djurgården 8-0 Zlín is the final score to come in for tonight – a comfortable win for the Swedes, which means they leapfrog Zlín by two points.
Nottingham Panthers beat Hamburg Freezers 3-1 to secure the first win for a British team in the CHL! It was almost four, with an Empty Net attempt hitting the post with 15s left.
Just two games left to play out tonight:

Just four games are left playing in today's CHL matches, with both Luleå and Färjestad Karlstadt comfortably taking 3-1 leads into the last parts of their games.
Djurgården are 7-0 up on Zlín after two periods, and you'd probably bet your house on them winning the game from there.
Over in the UK, can the Nottingham Panthers hold on to their 2-1 lead over Hamburg in period three? We're about to find out!
Luleå look to be heading top of Group K, as they now lead Lukko 3-1. In Group B, Färjestad Karlstadt lead by the same score over Vålerenga Oslo, as they close the gap on ZSC to two points.

A powerplay goal for Chris Baltisberger gives ZSC Zurich an OT win over Vienna Capitals. The Caps stay top though, and means that Zurich must win in Vienna in two weeks time to have any chance at winning the group.
An empty netter for David Meckler secures a 2-0 win for Salzburg in Kloten, and puts the visitors back on top of Group I!
60 minutes can't separate ZSC Lions and Vienna Capitals – they'll play an extra five, meaning that The Caps stay top of Group B!

It's also now 1-1 up in Karlstad, where Färjestad have levelled it up against Vålerenga Oslo. Klepis got the goal just before the half hour mark.
With Fribourg winning, and Djurgården now going 3-0 up in Stockholm, Zlín could find themselves third in the group before tonight is out.
