    HV71 Jönköping 4-1 EC Red Bull Salzburg

    Vienna Capitals 0-2 Oulun Kärpät
    ERC Ingolstadt 5-2 Braehead Clan
    Genéve-Servette 4-3o Sparta Prague (22:27:28)
     
    Buchtele called for holding an opponent. Time-out and coming powerplay for Geneva here in OT.
     
    Düsseldorf is done with the Black Wings, 6-3 at full time. Ingostadt added one more on board. Greilinger with his second of the night, assisted by Taticek. Both of them have 2+2 for the night. Final score there ERC Ingostadt 5-2 Braehead Clan.

    Only game running now is in Geneva.
     
    With 7 minutes to go, John Laliberte scores 4th goal for Ingolstadt. Brahead now in need of two.
     
    Sparta scored for 3-2 lead over Geneva. Polasek found a five-hole after a nice passing play in the zone.
     
    6 minutes to go in Germany and DEG is again up by 3! That would be a little miracle now, if the Black Wings can get back into this one.
     
    Thomas Greilinger puts Ingolstadt back in front. 3-2 and about 10 minutes left. Will the Clan reach for some points today?
     
    Andrew Kozek scores his second of the night in Düsseldorf! However, Linz is still trailing and time is ticking. 5-3 for DEG with 10 minutes to go.
     
    There's another final result! HV71 Jönköping 4-1 EC Red Bull Salzburg.

    After two goalless period, we've seen five goals in the final one.
     
    Wow! Düsseldorf scores the fifth one and the crowd there is just electrifying! Now the Black Wings have to pick themselves up before the final period.

    Also Jönkoping leads 4-1 already with another goal by Önerud. Taticek scores second one for Ingolstadt and Geneva equalizes on an own goal by Eminger, Loeffel marked as the goal scorer.
     
    It's Kristofer Berglund in Jönköping who came with the quick answer. 1-1 and we're tied again.
     
    Tomas Netik opens the score in Geneva. 1-0 for Sparta. Now we are only waiting for goals in Jönköping, where both teams prepare for the final period.
     
    Eduard Lewadowski scores for Düsseldorf, which is now only one goal behind Linz.

    Oulun Kärpät added the second one. Saku Maenalanen makes it 2-0 and this is the score at 1st intermission as well.
     
    Marc Wieser broke away in Pardubice and scored for Davos with a high snapper. 2-2 after 2 periods of play.
     
    Jani Hakanpaa gets Kärpät Oulu on the board in Vienna. 1-0 in 7th minute. And we are also off in Geneva.
     
    Andrew Kozek scores an early one for the Black Wings. Linz lead 1-0 at Düsseldorf.
     
    There's Tybor with the answer. Pardubice are back in front! 2-1
     
    Ambühl scores for Davos and makes it 1-1 in Pardubice. Half way through the game.
     
    By the way, there were 53 shots on goal of Sheffield earlier in the game at Jyväskylä. That's a nice number for Sheffield's goalie Tyler Plante who had 50 saves.
     
    Seven it is. EV Zug 0-7 Tappara Tampere (final score)

    Also Pardubice won the first period over Davos 1-0. Now the only game running remains HV71 Jönköping vs. Red Bull Salzburg.
     
    Tappara is on top of the world in Zug. Two more goals in the beginning of third period and we're getting closer to two digits... 7-0 for now.
     
    We have four final results already.

    Lulea Hockey 4:3so Lukko Rauma
    KalPa Kuopio 4:3so HC Ocelari Trinec
    JYP Jyväskylä 3:0 Sheffield Steelers
    Eisbären Berlin 3:6 ZSC Lions
     
    Game finished: Eisbären Berlin 3-6 ZSC Lions

    What a match that was! Zurich lost a 3-0 lead just to score three more late in the third period.

    Tappara leads over Zug 5-0 just before the final period.
    Petr Sykora has a special game coming. Former Davos player is about to welcome the Swiss side in Pardubice. We're starting there in a minute.

    Vehanen conceded three goals by Soervik, Batlisberger and Bartschi in just four minutes. It was 3-3 a while ago and now the Lions are 3 goals ahead again. 5 minutes to go...
     
    KalPa Kuopio 4-3so HC Ocelari Trinec – that is the final score.

    Trinec returns home with only one point from their two-games trip.

    However, things are happening in Berlin right now...
     
    Another game is finished: JYP Jyväskylä 3-0 Sheffield Steelers

    Meanwhile Trinec and Kuopio are about to find out the winner in the shootouts.
     
    After Manu Honkanen's strike, it's 4-0 already in Zug and we are half way through.

    JYP vs. Sheffield game is in its last minutes and there we might just be a bit more sure about the winner. Still 3-0 for Jyväskylä.
     
    Kris Foucault scores for Zurich and Berlin now has only a bit more than 10 minutes to level it once again.
     
    KalPa Kuopio 3-3 HC Ocelari Trinec (after 3rd)

    Another game is heading into the over time...
     
    Kamil Kreps equalizes for Trinec so the Ocelari still have a chance to take some points out of this game in Kuopio.
     
    Rauma didn't take advantage of their 5-on-3 powerplay so the game will go into the shootouts.

    Also Berlin scored to win the second period 2-0 over Zurich and is now only one goal behind.
     
    Lukko Rauma with a powerplay in the OT. Let's see if they can end this nailbiter right there.

    KalPa Kuopio 3-2 HC Ocelari Trinec (after 2nd)
    JYP Jyväskylä 3-0 Sheffield Steelers (after 2nd)
     
    Rocket start for Tappara as the Finns go in a 2-nothing lead just after first six minutes. Jani Lajnunen scores the second one.

    Jonne Tammela finishes a come back of Kuopio who is in front of Trinec for the first time now.
     
    What a game in Lulea! Turo Asplund scores for Lukko and makes it tied again, now at 3-3.

    KalPa equalises with Trinec as Miikka Pitkanen founds his spot between the circles and beats Hamerlik in goal of the Czech team.

    Valtteri Hotakainen's deflection gave JYP a 2-0 lead over Sheffield and Tappara starts well with an early goal at Zug. Markus Kankaanpera snipes one through the goalie.
     
    Vladimir Dravecky gives Trinec back the one-goal lead! Meanwhile EV Zug vs. Tappara Tampere game is about to begin.
     
    One more time, Lulea score to take the lead! Is Lukko Rauma going to find the answer to Craig Schira's goal and equlise once again?
     
    KalPa equalises with Santeri Lukka's powerplay one-timer. 1-1.
     
    Let's summarize what we have here so far:

    Lulea Hockey 2-2 Lukko Rauma (after 2nd)
    KalPa Kuopio 0-1 HC Ocelari Trinec (after 1st)
    JYP Jyväskylä 1-0 Sheffield Steelers (after 1st)
    Eisbären Berlin 0-3 ZSC Lions (after 1st)
     
    And it's Roman Wick again for the Lions who makes it 3-0 already in the end of first period. Bad times for the Eisbären.
     
    Goal for Trinec in the very end of first period! KalPa makes a mistake around their own goal and Chmielewski roofed it from between the circles. 1-0.
     
    Lukko Rauma scores an equaliser while playing a 5-on-3 PP. Sami Lahteenmaki is the goal scorer now.

    At the same time, JYP Jyväskylä takes the lead over Sheffield thanks to Joonas Nattinen.
     
    Three consecutive slashing calls against Zurich in the beginning gave the Swiss a hard time. Now they're on a man advantage themselves.
     
    Lulea is ahead again! Nobody else than Jacob Micflikier added another one on the board.

    Meanwhile KalPa try its luck on a powerplay against Trinec.
     
    It's equalised in Lulea! Toni Koivisto makes it even at full strength, shortly after the Swedes killed a 5-on-3 penalty of the Finnish side.
     
    Intermission in Lulea now.

    Next up at 16:00 CET:

    Kalpa Kuopio vs. HC Ocelari Trinec
    JYP Jyväskylä vs. Sheffield Steelers
    Eisbären Berlin vs. ZSC Lions
     
    And they score! JACOB MICFLIKIER gets a nice crossing pass through the zone and buries it into the open net! 1-0 for Lulea.
     
    Lulea has now an opportunity with the first power play in the very end of the opening period.
     
    Lukko started with some early chances in Lulea, but Lassinantti keeps it goalless for now.
     
    First game of today between Lulea and Lukko Rauma has just begun!
     
    Joel Lassinantti, one of the key figures of Lulea's last season triumph, is the starting goalie for his side today as well.
     
    All of the home teams for today are going to play their first CHL game of the season. It will be interesting to watch how many of them can take off with some points against teams that have already played their opening matches.
     
    We have seen only one game since Thursday that wasn’t settled after 60 minutes of time and it was the Lukko Rauma at Fribourg-Gotteron (4-3so). Is there going to be another similar drama tonight?
     
    Today is also the day when the defending champion of the CHL enters the competition! Is Lukko Rauma about to spoil Luleå's day?
     
    We’ll bring you all the important information from all of today games right here since the first face-off dropped at Luleå to the end of the last match in Geneva.
