    Champions Hockey League continues in two weeks time with final game day of group action which promises a lot of drama. Meanwhile, tune back in to championshockeyleague.net for news, quotes, game highlights and much more.

    That´s it for now. My name is Lukas Peroutka, have a good night! (22:30:32)

     
    FINAL RESULT: Växjö – KalPa 2:1

    Lakers hold on to their lead and move to the joint top position in Group G with Sparta Prague on 9 points. KalPa remains third with 7 points.
    GOAL(S) & FINAL RESULT: Frölunda – Briancon 6:2

    Frölunda score two late goals in final minutes of the game through Oscar Fantenberg and Andreas Johnsson (again, for 4th time tonight). Bit harsh on Briancon.

    Indians are tied on top of Group C on 12 points with Servette. By the way, this is Johnsson´s 7th goal and 16th point. Incredible efficiency by the young Swede.


     
    One minute left in Växjö and Lakers still hold a narrow 2-1 lead. Nick Johnson had a penalty shot saved with four minutes to go and now KalPa pull the goalie in search for an equalizer.
     
    GOAL & FINAL RESULT! Skellefteå – IFK 3:0

    IFK´s misery is completed when Anton Lindholm´s pass is diverted into his own net by Teemu Ramstedt. Skellefteå remains perfect in CHL, winning also their fifth game and sealing victory in Group J.
     
    GOAL! Växjö – KalPa 2:1

    KalPa finally gets on the scoresheet after Tomas Kubalik rifles a shot into the net. Nine minutes left in Sweden. Group G is fairly even so any point might be important.
     
    IFK has a puck in the net after Elkins squeezes it in between keeper´s pads. However, referee rules the goal out, apparently after blowing a whistle before the puck crossed the line. Unlucky for the Finnish team, they are still 0-2 down in the third period at Skellefteå.
     
    FINAL RESULT: Krefeld – SønderjyskE 3:4

    Does that count as a surprise? Yes, it does. But SønderjyskE has already proven they are a strong and resilient team and now they get their first ever CHL win. The Danish club scored three goals in the last period and beats Krefeld who remain pointless at the bottom of Group J.
     
    GOAL(S)! Krefeld – SønderjyskE 3:2

    There is not much at stake in terms of playoffs here at Krefeld, but both sides battle for their first CHL win. Norman Hauner´s powerplay effort put Penguins into a two-goal lead, but a quick response by Mats Lund means Vojens are back in touch.
     
    GOAL! Skellefteå – IFK 2:0

    Looks like the Swedish champion is determined to maintain a 100% record even after tonight. Daniel Widing´s second of the game 94 seconds before second intermission puts Skellefteå in a good position ahead of the last period.
     
    GOAL(S)! Frölunda – Briancon 3:1

    Midway through the game, Ian McDonald was tripped on a breakaway and converted the resulting penalty shot, cutting Frölunda´s lead in half. But late in the second period, the Swedish scoring power is again apparent as Andreas Johnsson converts a powerplay for a 3-1 goal.
     
    GOAL! Skellefteå – IFK 1:0

    Daniel Widing fires a one-timer into the net and Skellefteå have the lead in the clash of top teams of Group J. A home victory would seal the top place for the Swedish powerhouse. Still 30 minutes to play there, though.
     
    GOAL! Växjö – KalPa 2:0

    Lakers increase their lead on a powerplay thanks to Nick Johnson´s rebound. A victory for the Swedish outfit would lift them to joint first place in Group G.
