    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Even if Fribourg has no chance to qualify for the playoff-stage in this CHL season, the swiss team shows that it is willing to get this first win in this years competition.
    Fribourg came out on the ice and this time they dominated Lulea in the first minutes of the period. After the deserved second goal scored by Bykov on a nice breakaway, Lulea managed to come back. The holder of the CHL title had several decent scoring chances and then it was CTS Micflikier, always very dangerous when he is on the ice, who levelled the score again.
    But the period wasn't over yet. Only 2.8 seconds before the horn ended these 20 minutes of play, Sprunger was laft alone in the slot during a Powerplay situation for Fribourg and the number 86 of the dragons fired home the third. Fribourg in the lead after 40 minutes, the third period will be interesting – for sure!

    Lulea Hockey with the better start and the opening goal which came shortly after a harmless Powerplay. The one timer from Sandstrom was nice and Conz had not enough time to get on this one.

    Welcome to Fribourg for this CHL group stage game in group K. My name is Alain Hauert and I will cover this match live for you at the BCF-Arena.
     
    The game at BCF-Arena in Fribourg is not a decider in this group anymore. After the results so far, swiss side of Fribourg-Gottéron is sure to be out of this seasons CHL-competition. Nevertheless the dragons will try to get their first win in this group stage.

    On the other end, Lulea Hockey is still fighting to get the top spot in this group and trying to start the playoff stage in the best position as they are trying to defend their CHL-title won in 2015 against Frölunda.

    In Switzerland the national championship is about to start in a week, so Fribourg will take this game as the last serious match in the preparation campaign before meeting HC Davos (september 11, away at Vaillant Arena) and Kloten Flyers (september 12, home at BCF-Arena). After a very disappointing last season, the team is looking to make it a better one this year and a good start could help a lot.

    Lulea Hockey has to wait one week longer before playing the first match in the swedish SHL on september 17 against Växjö Lakers.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
