    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
     
    Here we go again. This is the return match between the SC Bern and IFK Helsinki. The first game in Helsinki has been won by the Home Team 3 goals to 1. The SC Bern was at the back foot very quickly because of sloppy first period. They conceived 2 Goals in the first 20 minutes. Even tough the Team from Switzerland eventually found their way into the game and scored a early goal in the third period, they've weaken themselves with unnecessary penalties. Until the last minutes of the game the SC Bern had the chance to even the scoreline. A empty netter by Joonas Jarvinen, 6 seconds before the end of the game, finally killed the last hopes for the SC Bern.

    With this win IFK Helsinki is on top of Group A, 2nd is Linkoping HC and the SC Bern is 3rd.
