Tuesday 04.11.2014, 14:00Champions Hockey League gameday liveblog
    Here are all the results of tonigh´s games. Hope you had a good time following the Champions Hockey League. Don't forget to tune back to www.championshockeyleague.net for recent news, quotes, statistics and game highlights.

    My name is Lukas Peroutka, thanks for following us and we will be back in just one week's time for the conclusion of all eighth-final series. Have a good night!


     
    22:18
    FINAL RESULT! Luleå 2-4 Salzburg

    Luleå eventually scores in final minutes of the game and improve their chances for the return leg thanks to Daniel Zaar´s deflection 68 seconds before the end of the game. But Red Bull will be the happier team, anyway, taking a two-goal cushion back home to Austria. (22:19:53)
     
    22:13
    Salzburg is shorthanded with three minutes to go in Luleå, but holding their ground. And the time is running out for the Swedish outfit who was considered favourites in this tie.
    FINAL RESULT: Servette 2-0 SaiPa

    Robert Mayer earns an impressive shotout on home ice as Geneve celebrates a 2-0 victory. This tie is far from over, but SaiPa will have to step up the performance next week in eastern Finland in order to fight for a quarterfinal berth.


    FINAL RESULT: Fribourg 2-2 IFK Helsinki

    Our first (and probably only) tie of the night is in Fribourg. The home side takes the lead twice, but IFK responded quickly both times and is going to be happier of the two teams after the game. The Finns earn an encouraging result for the second leg at home.


     
    21:55
    Geneve still leads SaiPa 2-0 late in the third period whil Salzburg maintains their impressive 4-1 advantage over Luleå.
     
    21:48
    GOAL! Fribourg 2-2 IFK Helsinki

    We have a tied game again in Fribourg, because Tomas Zaborsky equalizes with six minutes to go in the third period.

    Remember, tonight´s game will end after 60 minutes even if scores are level.
     
    There is second intermission in all three remaining games. And here are current scores:

    19:45 Fribourg-Gottéron – IFK Helsinki 1:1
    19:45 Genève-Servette – SaiPa Lappeenranta 2:0
    20:05 Luleå Hockey – Red Bull Salzburg 1:4
     
    21:12
    GOAL(S)! Luleå 1-3 Salzburg

    Home side pushed forward and was punished at the back when Kyle Beach´s deflected effort found its way into the net. However, shortly afterwards Lucas Wallmark scores to give his team a lifeline.
     
    21:01
    GOAL! Luleå 0-2 Salzburg

    Surprise? Red Bull takes a two-goal lead in Sweden and the goal scorer is again a US player – this time Brett Sterling.
     
    20:50
    GOAL! Servette 1-0 SaiPa

    Finally our first goal in Geneve. Kevin Romy takes advantage of a loose puck in front of the net and sends it high under the crossbar.
     
    20:42
    GOAL! Fribourg 1-0 IFK Helsinki

    Canadian forward Jeff Tambellini opens the scoring and puts Fribourg in the lead with his rebound.

     
    20:38
    GOAL! Luleå 0-1 Salzburg

    With 57 seconds to go in the first period, Salzburg score and take the lead in Sweden thanks to Troy Milam, scoring a close-range goal from Walter´s pass.
     
    20:36
    And a quick reminder of promotion criteria:

    The winners of the series, who will advance to the quarter-finals, will be determined according to the following criteria:

    1) The team that scores the most goals after 120 minutes of hockey (two regulation games) is the winner. For this purpose, the football "away goal rule" does not apply. All goals carry equal weight.

    2) No Overtime or Game-Winning Shots (shootout) will be played after the first game, even if it ends in a tie. Overtime will only be played after the second game if the total series score is even.

    3) Overtime in the eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals will be 10 minutes in length and sudden-death (golden goal). Teams will skate 4-on-4 at full strength.

    4) As in all penalty shootouts so far in the CHL, teams will continue to use five shooters each.
