    Goalie Timo Pielmeier of ERC Ingolstadt is out tonight becaue of an injury, so backup goalie Marc Eisenhut will be the starting goalie. Martin Davidek and Danny Irmen are also unable to play.
     
    For Ingolstadt it is the start into the new CHL season. The bavarian club participates for the second time and is a founding member of the Champions Hockey League.
     
    After the big 10-2 defeat in Växjö on thursday the Braehead Can wants to show, that they can compete on CHL-level.
     
    A very warm welcome from Saturn Arena in Ingolstadt, where the ERC Ingolstadt hosts the Braehead Clan of Glasgow tonight.
    The warm up is over and both teams are back in their locker rooms to prepare for the first faceoff.
     
    Starting lineups:

    ERC Ingolstadt: Eisenhut (Henne) – Kronthaler, Köppchen, Schopper, Friesen, Kohl, McNeill, Wagner, Schütz – Taticek, Buck, Laliberte – Lebler, Ross, Schmidpeter – Kubalik, A. Barta, Greilinger – Elsner, B. Barta, Th. Pielmeier

    Braehead Clan Glasgow: Holt (Russell) – Fritsch, Aarssen, Jackman, Gotz, Sullivan – Bruton, Leavitt, Pitt – Meyer, Keith, Brooks – Nesbitt, Davies, Esders – Harper, Cownie, McKenzie

    Referees: Warschaw (AUT), Rohatsch – Gossmann, Kohlmüller (All GER).
     
    The ERC Ingolstadt, vice-champion of Germany, starts his Champions Hockey League season against the Braehead Clan of Glasgow. First puck drops at 19:30 in the Saturn Arena.

    Ingolstadt's new coach Manny Viveiros, successor of Larry Huras, expects a hard piece of work: "Braehead has got a few players with NHL-experience and they are physically strong. I think it will be a very physical game."

    Braehead conceded a 10-2 defeat against Swedish champion Växjö in the opening game. Now they want to show, that they can do it much better.
    So Ingolstadt has to be concentrated and avoid it to underestimate the Clan, who competes with two former Ingolstadt players in their team. Brandon Brooks and Matt Keith already played for the bavarian club.

    Before the game starts, the supporters of Ingolstadt and Braehead Clan will celebrate a party together and are looking forward to a exciting match.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:30.
