    So that's all for today. Some surprises, while others went according to form.

    Litvinov 2–1 Frolunda
    Espoo 3–1 HV71
    Turku 4–3 Storhamar
    Tappara 2–1 Lulea
    Liberec 3–5 Davos
    Sparta 4–2 Karpat
    Eisbaren 2–5 Skelleftea
    Djurgarden 1–2 Lukko

    Remember, these aggregate scores carry into the games next Tuesday, with the teams that were away today getting home ice next week. See you then! (22:13:58)
     
    It's all over in Stockholm. Djurgarden with a late power play but Lukko hold on for the 2-1 win. As mentioned, that was a huge late goal, as they now take a 1-goal aggregate lead into their home game next week.
     
    And with 3:17 to play Lukko breaks the deadlock! ILLKA MIKKOLA beats Mikael Tellqvist with a hard and low shot just inside the post. This would be a huge road win in the first leg if they can hang on.
     
    Into the last 5 minutes in Stockholm, still 1-1 between Djurgarden and Lukko.
     
    Djurgarden have just tied the game late in the 2nd period of a tight defensive game in Stockholm. LINUS HULTSTRÖM takes a nice pass from Adam Ollas Mattsson and buries it. 1-1 after 40 minutes.
     
    Berlin got a late goal from Laurin Braun to make the final score a slightly more respectable 5-2. However, they still face an uphill challenge heading to northern Sweden with a 3-goal deficit on aggregate.
     
    Sparta win 4-2 on home ice, backed by a brilliant goaltending performance from Tomas Popperle. Everyone knew he'd have to be strong to give his team a chance in this one.
     
    Skelleftea had a 3-1 lead after 2 periods in Berlin, and 2 more goals have made it 5-1 early in the third period.

    Meanwhile, after 1 period in Stockholm, Lukko lead Djurgarden 1-0 on a goal by Sami Lahteenmaki.
     
    Captain Jaroslav Hlinka restores Sparta's 4-2 lead over Karpat with under 4 minutes to go in Prague.
     
    HC Davos are the first road team to win today, 5-3 over Bili Tygri Liberec, so they'll start with a 2-goal lead on home ice next week. The big story in Liberec was the sell-out crowd of 7,500! Read more here.
     
    But just like that it's 3-2 Jani Hakanpaa with a wrister from the point just 21 seconds later. Quite a game in Prague!
     
    3-1 Sparta! After giving up 1 goal in the first 19.5 periods of CHL play, Sparta Prague have figured out the secret of beating Sami Aittokallio and the previously impenetrable Karpat Oulu defence.
     
    HC Litvinov, Tappara Tampere, the Espoo Blues and TPS Turku all win at home to put themselves in good position heading on the road next week. Read more here.
     
    Erik FORSSELL notches another one for Skelleftea, and the Eisbaren trail 2-0 after 12 minutes.
    A great atmosphere in Berlin, but the home fans not with much to shout about... Skelleftea score the opening goal early in period one.
     
    47:31 now played in Tappara, and the home side are ahead again thanks to LAJUNEN!

    Lulea are level in Tappara! 46:10 on the board, and it's Christopher MASTOMAKI with the tying goal.
     
    Marcus PAULSSON scores for Davos at 28:08 and they now lead 4-1 in Liberec!
     
    Halftime

    Litvinov hold on despite a late PP for Frolunda, to win 2-1 in the first leg!
     
    3 each between TPS and Storhamar after 40 minutes.
