    Eisbären Berlin 3-0 Stavanger Oilers
    Djurgarden Stockholm 4-3 Växjö Lakers (22:13:29)
    And that's your lot for today!

     
    20s to go in Stockholm, Djurgarden lead Vaxjo 4-3 but the Lakers will end this game on the PP.
     
    So the last game still running tonight is in Stockholm, where with just over 11 minutes to play Djurgarden lead Vaxjo 4-3.
     
    All over in the two games in Germany tonight. Mixed fortunes thought for the home sides, as Berlin beat Stavanger 3-0, but Dusseldorf lose 0-2 to Karpat.
     
    Micki DUPONT finds the back of the net in Berlin, and it's 3-0 to the Eisbaren. Stavanger need to be careful here, otherwise they'll have little to take home with them.
     
    After a disastrous start, Vienna have come back to lose 3-4 only to Litvinov.
     
    Sven ZIEGLER has put Berlin 2-0 up on Stavanger early in period three, while at Hovet Djurgarden are now 3-1 up on Vaxjo.
     
    Middle of period two in Stockholm, and it's still ldjurganrden 2-1 Vaxjo.
     
    1:56 played in the final period in Vienna, and the Capitals are back in the game! Kurtis McLEAN gets them the goal that brings it back to 3-4.
     
    11:30 left on period three in Salzburg, and the Red Bulls are back in this... Kyle BEACH gets them back in the game!
     
    An early goal in the middle period from Esa PIRNES puts Karpat Oulu 2-0 up in Dusseldorf. In Berlin, we still have no goals in the home side's game with Stavanger – and in Vienna the Capitals still trail Litvinov by 1-4.
     
    Kris FOUCAULT has scored for ZSC Lions, meaning they now trail by just a goal in Prague – 3-2 to Sparta.

    Kosice think they've tied the game, but the goal is under review.
    Litvinov's players hit the locker room 4-1 up in Vienna!

     
    With the Djurgarden Stockholm – Vaxjo game now live, we have at least start all of tonight's games.
     
    Alexander Urbom puts Skelleftea back ahead in Kosice, 3-2 they lead now.
     
    Brendan MIKKELSON has put denying champions Lulea ahead in Karlstad. In Vienna, the home side have had a terrible opening period – trailing Litvinov 4-1. Over in Salzburg, there's no score after one period between the Red Bulls and Storhamar.
     
    Marek BARTANUS get his and Kosice's second goal of the night to draw level at two each with SAIK.
     
    16:30
    Liberec have also been Linkoping by 4-1, a scoreline that's held since the opening period.
    Game over

    Trinec 2-2 HV71
    Espoo Blues 4-1 Mannheim
    JYP 2-2 TPS
    IFK Helsinki 2-1 Davos
    Lukko 5-3 Red Bull Munich

     
    Fratisek LUKES scores for Litvinov to put them 2-1 up in Vienna, and Capitals' coach Jim Boni opts for a goalie chance with Zopf now coming in.
    There's a goal under review in Prague to put Sparta 3-0 ahead...

    And it's given!

     
    5:12 played in Vienna, and Julien GROSSLERCHER ties the game with Litvinov at one all. In Prague, Sparta are now 2-0 ahead of the ZSC Lions.
     
    Lukko aren't hanging around, and have gone 5-1 up on Munich thanks to Sami LAHTEENMAKI. This is looking like a mountain that the Red Bulls will take home with them to climb.
    This is what European winter is all about :D

    A good crowd in Dusseldorf for their game with Oulu, that starts in just under 7 minutes.

     
    Two goals in 37s from NUMMELIN and TUKONEN have drawn TPS level with JYP. They had trailed by a pair after two periods.
     
    A PP goal for Joonas RASK has re-established IFK's lead over Davos, 2-1 the score there to the home side.
    Two more games getting started now – Vienna entertaining Litvinov, and the one below – Stohamar in Salzburg.

     
    Game over

    Tappera win 2-0 in Ostrava and take a healthy lead with them back to Tampere.
    Warming up now in Berlin!

     
    Marek BARTANUS has pulled a goal back for Kosice just over 90s after they went 2-0 down at home to Skelleftea. In Liberec meanwhile, the home side still lead Linkoping by 4-1.
     
    It's also not going well for another DEL side, Mannheim – the Adler are 4-1 down in Espoo approaching the end of the middle period.

    We're through 40 minutes now in Helsinki, where IFK lead Davos 1-0, and in Jyvaskyla wheree JYP lead TPS 2-0.

    In Trinec, it's two each after 40 minutes.
     
    37:16 played in Trinec, and we have a tied game! Erik HRNA has levelled it for the home side just before the break.
    Dusseldorf take on Karpat Oulu at 19:30, but here's the scene now at the ISS Dome. Meanwhile in Ostrava, the home side have 20 minutes to get themselves on the board, as they trail Tappara 2-0.

     
    16:30
    One period now done in Kosice – Skelleftea lead 1-0. Coming up at 19:00 we have Färjestad Karlstad – Lulea Hockey.
    We have lineups for the Salzburg – Storhamar game

     
    What a period for Liberec, who lead Linkoping 4-1 after 20 minutes! In Helsinki, the hosts are ahead of Davos by a single goal.
    1-1 then after 20 minutes between Trinec and HV71. In Finland, the game is also tied...

    The game in Kosice has started, there Skelleftea are the guests.

    This tweeter is trying to predict who will open the scoring:

     
    And that's a hattrick! BULIR is on fire, and has Liberec 4-1 up on Linkoping in the opening period!
     
    Teemu LAINE rockets a shot into the net to bring HV71 level in Trinec at one each. And it's another Teemu, this time AALTO, that has Tappara ahead early on in period two in Ostrava.
     
    We have some goals to tell you about!

    Espoo take the lead vs. Mannheim thanks to Kai KANTOLA after nine minutes. In Trinec, Radim MATUS has opening the scoring for the home side against HV71.
     
    20 minutes done in Ostrava, still scoreless.
     
    Lively start in Trinec, with both the hosts and HV71 creating some early chances. Look like it'l be an open game.
    And as our 17:30 games start, we have warm up in Kosice...

     
    3:52 to play still in the opening period in Ostrava, and we've yet to see a goal.

    At 17:30, so in just a few minutes, the following games get going:

    17:30 IFK Helsinki – HC Davos
    17:30 JYP Jyväskylä – TPS Turku
    17:30 Bílí Tygři Liberec – Linköping HC

    And Rauma!

    Teams are now warming up in Trinec

     
    Off we go then in Ostrava, the CHL round of 32 is live!
    Warming up then now in Ostrava...

    What a great sight – the arena in Liberec an hour before face-off!

     
    The first game to get going today is in Ostrava, with Vitkovice entertaining Tappara.

    “They have their quality, and a strong team. I hope lots of fans will come out today and help us. I remember they have some experienced players, and an older goalie as far as I remember,” says Tomas Kudelka, who played in Finland last season. “Some of the guys went to the KHL, but they brought some new players, and have kept their strength.”

    Tappara head to Ostrava not in the best vain of form. Seven points from four games are what they have on the board at the moment, although they’ve not lost in regulation yet. Goalie Tomi Karhunen has started three of the games so far, averaging a save percentage of 92.41. “We had a good group stage, and now we’re very focused on keeping it going in the playoffs, too,” says Tappara defenceman Alexander Bonsaksen. “Vitkovice is a challenge for us, especially starting abroad against a team we don’t know that well.”
    Zurich Lions are about to head off to the o2 Arena in Prague for tonight's game – don't worry, we mean head off from their hotel, not their own rink!

    Kosice are almost all set before tonight's game!

    The Red Bulls are ready in Lukko!


    HV71 have arrived!

    Och nu är man framme vid arenan i Trinec. #hv71 #chl
