    Before the last game, Group A is still open and the fixture tomorrow a decisive one for the SC Bern. The Swiss Side plays at home against the group winner Linköping HC from Sweden. Bern needs two points to get through to the next round. A win in Overtime or after a Shootout would be enough. One point won’t be good enough. In this case or if they lose the game after 60 minutes, IFK Helsinki will go through to the next round. SC Bern forward, Cory Conacher told us today that the start of the game is vital for them:“ Once again it will be very important that we are ready from the first second of the game. We know how to beat them and nearly did it when we played against them in Sweden.“ The game starts at 7.45pm CEST.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
