The Round of 32 concludes today, with all 16 return games. Here are the current aggregate scores after the first games, with goal-scorers. Teams listed first were at home in the first games, and will be away today.
Vítkovice Ostrava 0–2 Tappara Tampere
25. Aalto, 26. Peltola (PS)
Trailing by 2 goals, Red Bull Salzburg are ready to attempt a comeback tonight, and they're ready for the usual large crowd of Storhamar home fans as well.
HV71 and Ocelari Trinec both ready for tonight's game in Jonkoping with the aggregate score tied at 2. Despite that, HV71's Erik Andersson looks relaxed.
Getting Oulun Energia Areena ready for tonight's Karpat – Dusseldorf tilt. Karpat enter the game with a 2-goal lead, and have only surrendered 1 goal in 5 CHL games to date.
JYP jerseys hung with care. They face Finnish rivals TPS in Turku tonight, with the aggregate score tied 2-2 entering that one. It gets under way at 18:30 Finnish time, 17:30 CET.
Under an hour to go now before we get going with the opening games!
The Liberec club confirms that Marek Schwarz will again start in goal. In the first game he stopped 24 of 25 in a 4-1 win. This time, he just has to keep his team within 2 goals of Linkoping to put the White Tigers through to the next round.
So it's the Zimní Stadion Ivana Hlinky where we head for the opening game of today! Litvinov host Vienna, with a 4-3 lead on aggregate from the opening leg.
No scores early on in Litvinov, as other fans get prepared...
Period one over in Litvinov, no score. Vienna still trail by one on aggregate, and have 40 minutes to do something about it.
1:36 on the clock in Oulu, and we have the first goal of the day! Sebastian AHO puts Karpat 1-0 up on the night, extending their aggregate lead to three.
Done deal already?
Saku MAENALANEN makes it 2-0 Karpat at 5:02, putting them 4-0 ahead on aggregate.
All of those games are now back out for period two. In Litvinov, we still have no score in the game vs. Vienna after 40 minutes now. The Capitals have a period to try and level the tie.
Kosice are hanging on up in Skelleftea, but still keep the game scoreless. Over in Finland, TPS are back level with JYP to draw the tie to three each.
Janne Pesonen has scored a huge goal in Skelleftea for SAIK... that puts them 1-0 up tonight, and levels the tie at 4-4!
BIG goal in Litvinov – and it's gone to Vienna! Rafael ROTTER, who's currently serving an EBEL ban in his own league, has scored with 14:40 to play to level the tie at four each. 1-0 Vienna lead on the night.
Jan-Mikael JARVINEN puts Tappara back in the lead against Ostrava, and extends his side aggregate lead to 4-1.
Remember that nightmare start we talked about for Linkoping? Well it's just got doubly worse... Michal REPIK make it 2-0 Liberec and 6-1 on aggregate with less than three minutes played.
Litvinov score the OT winner to beat Vienna 6-5 on aggregate!
If you're a Linkoping fan, we advise you to look away now...
Linkoping 0-4 Liberec (Petr ELINEK, 8:59)
That's 8-1 on aggregate, with all of Liberec's goals having come in the first period of both games!
Daniel BRODIN puts Djurgarden one up in Vaxjo, making it 5-3 to the Stockholm side on aggregate. Meanwhile Dave SPINA has completed his hat-trick for TPS to put them 3-1 ahead of JYP.
OOOOOH, momentum shift in Stavanger? Oilers' Kissel puts them 3-2 ahead of Berlin, and now just two behind on aggrigate!
A combination of Luka Gracnar and the post keeps Stavanger just one ahead of Salzburg tonight, but 4-1 on aggregate.
Elsewhere HV71 have drawn level against Trinec, as have Vaxjo vs. Djurgarden – although the latter still trail on aggregate. In Linkoping, Branko RADIVOJEVIC puts Liberec up 5-1!
We *THINK* that Ingolstadt might have levelled the game in Frolunda, putting them back 2-goals ahead on aggregate!
BAAAARTA! Ingolstadt gleicht aus. Damit brauchen die Schweden wieder zwei Treffer... #CHL#ERC
Another late goal! Ilkka HEIKKINEN also scores at 39:59 to put Vaxjo 2-1 up on Djurgarden. Now the Lakers trail are level on aggregate at 5-5 going into the last period!
9"23 on the board in Lulea... and Johan RYNO has got Farjestadt the lead. 1-3 they trail the defending champions on aggregate.
Frolunda are seriously back in this now against Ingolstadt. 2-1 up on the night, and now just a goal behind on aggregate.
Beat FORSTER puts Davos 2-1 ahead of HIFK early in period two... which means we have a 3-3 tie on aggregate!
Brian FAHEY gets Red Bull Salzburg on the board in Hamar – they've got 15 minutes to find two goals and send this game to OT.
Henrik ERIKSSON levels the game for Djurgarden in Vaxjo, putting the visitors back ahead on aggregate.
Oh what a turnaround in Vaxjo! Just 90s after tying the game, Matt ANDERSON puts Djurgarden in the lead! VAX now trail by two on aggregate... 1:30 ago they were level.
Corey Elkins ties a real seesaw game in Davos, to draw HIFk level at two each. That puts the Helsinki-side back ahead by one on aggregate.
Chris ABBOTT puts HV71 ahead for the first time tonight in their home game with Trinec. That game was tied after the first leg, meaning simply that whoever wins tonight goes through.
In Linkoping, the home side are back to 3-5 down against Liberec as the desperately try to salvage some pride.
Game, set, and match to Storhamar? They're 2-1 ahead of Salzburg now, and 5-2 up on aggregate, thanks to Jacob Berglund!
JADA!!! 2-1 ved Jacob Berglund i powerplay! Tid: 48:48! #chl
Eight minutes to play in Vaxjo, and the Lakres are level on the night thanks to Calle ROSEN. They still need another goal to send it to OT on the aggregate score though.
HV71 get goal 3 against Trinec on the ENG, and that looks like it'll be enough to see them through.
What a BIG goal this is – Frolunda level it on aggregate with Ingolstadt at 59:49 thanks to Lukas BENGTSSON. They lead 3-1 on the night, so it's five each overall. OT there...
Salzburg going for it in Storhamar, goalie out and they've tied the game at two each on the night. Still need another pair to level it on aggregate though...
Meanwhile it looks like curtains for Munich, as Lukko score again.
Storhamar win 3-2 thanks to an ENG, and go through 6-3 on aggregate! They'll now face giants TPS Turku!
HV71 beat Trinec 3-1 to go through 5-3 overall.
Djurgarden hold on to a 3-all tie in Vaxjo, meaning they knock out the SHL play-off champions 7-6!
Stavanger's CHL adventure is over for this year, as Eisbaren Berlin become the first DEL side to make the last 16 – 6-3 on aggregate.
Story so far...
- All of the EBEL teams have now been eliminated.
- Berlin are the first DEL side to reach the last 16
- Storhamar are the last GETLigaen side standing the CHL
- Both NLA sides remaining are behind, meaning they could both miss out on the next round
Heartbreak for Ingolstadt, they've lost in overtime and Frolunda advance. 11s they were from going through before the home side tied the series in regulation...
Where's that come from??! Lulea are suddenly 3-0 down at home to Farjestad, which means the tie is now at three each of aggregate. Defending champions on the ropes?
36s to go in Mannheim, and Ryan MACMURCHY makes it 3-1 to the home side. They need just one more goal to force OT...
Done deal
Well that drama was short-lived, as Espoo hit back through Ville KORHONEN at 59:59 to seal the tie 6-4 on aggregate.
Davos score? Goal is under review!
The goal is good – Dario SIMION scores for Davos to put them 4-2 up on the night, and 5-4 ahead on aggregate!
Done deal
After all the hype about Auston Matthews, it's Sparta Prague who win this CHL tie, and perhaps more comfortably than you'd have thought. 3-0 winners in Zurich tonight, they go through 6-2 on aggregate!
Done deal
Davos are through! The ENG makes it safe, and they win tonight 5-2... which makes an aggregate victory of 6-4. What a result!
That makes Davos the only NLA representatives in the Last 16, and is the first time a side from the Liiga has been knocked out by a team not from the SHL or their own league.
So, it's all eyes on the last game running – Lulea and Farjestad looked in at three each on aggregate.
The better team has won tonight, no doubt. Congrats to @HCSpartaPraha, Hope, you'll face our @zsclions next year in the #CHL again.
