    Here are the match-ups for the 2015–16 Champions Hockey League Quarter-Finals:

    Karpat Oulu vs Espoo Blues
    TPS Turku vs Lukko Rauma
    Skelleftea AIK vs HC Davos
    Frolunda Gothenburg vs Lulea Hockey


     
    Done deal

    And in Frolunda, the home side have thrashed Litvinov 6-0 to qualify 7-2 on aggregate.

    That completes all of tonight's games. (22:13:04)
     
    Done deal

    Espoo are through, overcoming HV71 4-2 on aggregate!
     
    Davos go 4-3 up on Liberec, making it now 9-6 on aggregate.
     
    Frolunda hit five... stop short of them imploding, it looks like they'll make the next round!
     
    43:16 on the board in Frolunda, and Lukas BENGTSSON puts the home side 4-0 up... that's now 5-2 on aggregate.
     
    One each on the night between HV71 and Espoo – the Blues leading that one 4-2 on aggregate.
     
    Now Sebastian Stalberg scores on a breakaway with 2:25 left in the second period to give Frolunda a 3-0 lead over Litvinov in the game and a 4-2 lead on aggregate.
     
    And we have a fourth quarter-finalist and third from Finland, as TPS Turku have advanced. With the game tied 1-1 late in the third period but TPS up a goal on aggregate, Storhamar pulled their goalie and Henrik Tallinder scored the game-winning goal into the empty net. That's 2-1 TPS in the game, 6-4 on aggregate.

    We will have a TPS-Lukko quarter-final.
     
    Meanwhile in Gothenburg, Frolunda have scored 2 goals and now lead 3-2 on aggregate over Litvinov with 6:00 left in the second period.
     
    It looked like we might have a dramatic finish in Lulea, but three goals in a five minute span have broken this one open and Lulea now lead 5-0 in the hockey game and 6-2 on aggregate with just four minutes to play.
     
    And not as much drama as in the other games but Skelleftea are the third quarter-finalist. They got a late goal to win the hockey game, but overall win on aggregate 7-3 to eliminate Eisbaren Berlin.
     
    Now look at this, two goals from Liberec and they've tied the score in this game 3-3, and trail only 8-6 on aggregate with still half a hockey game to go. Fans in Davos suddenly quiet . . . don't go anywhere!
     
    What's been going on recently?

    Storhamar have tied the game on the night against TPS, and now just need one more goal to level the tie overall.

    Davos lead Liberec 3-1, and are almost home and dry barring a total collapse.

    Frolunda-Litvinov is scoreless after one period.
     
    Scratch that, Davos now lead 2-1 on the night through a penalty shot... 7-4 overall.
     
    Two quick goals in Davos, to mention:

    Samuel WALSER puts Davos ahead, before Petr JELINEK equalises just over three minutes later. 1-1 on the night, meaning 6-4 to the hosts overall.
     
    Done deal

    How about that... a late, late, late goal for Karpat puts them through!
     
    Heartbreak for Sparta?

    Karpat Oulu score with just under 50s left on the scoreboard, to lead the matchup 6-5 on aggregate!
     
    ENG for Lukko, and it looks as if they're going to be the first team through!
     
    Some more goals to tell you about...

    Sebastian AHO has put Karpat 3-1 up over Sparta, which means we're at 5-5 on aggregate there.

    TPS have taken the lead in Storhamar, to go 5-3 ahead on aggregate.

    Lulea score two early goals against Tappara, meaning they're now 3-2 ahead overall.
     
    BIG goal up in Oulu...

    Scored by Sparta Prague! They trail 2-1 on the night, but are back ahead on aggregate 5-4.
     
    Early goal in Skelleftea... and it's gone to the visitors! The Eisbaren the a 1-0 lead, putting them down 3-5 on aggregate.
    Warming up in Storhamar

     
    Starting now:

    Skelleftea AIK vs. Eisbaren Berlin (5-2)
    Storhamar Hamar vs. TPS Turku (3-4)
    Lulea Hockey vs. Tappara Tampere (1-2)
     
    TIED matchup in Oulu!

    Karpat score again, and it's 4-4 on aggregate with Sparta!
     
    Two quick goals to tell you about in Rauma!

    34:48 on the board and Aaron GAGNON puts Rauma 1-0 up on the night... however just under two minutes later Mikael AHLEN ties the game on the night – Lukko still leads by one on aggregate.
     
    Goal!

    Karpat are on the board, leading Sparta 1-0 on the night, trailing just 4-3 on aggregate!
     
    We're back under way in Rauma, and Oulu...
    Berlin getting ready in Skelleftea!

     
    No goals in both of the early starts after 20 minutes...
     
    Remember, here's the state of play from the first legs:

    Lukko Rauma vs. Djurgarden Stockholm (2-1)
    Karpat Oulu vs. Sparta Prague (2-4)

    So Djurgarden need to score one, and Karpt two, to force these games into OT.
     
    And away we go, games under way in Rauma and Oulu!
    In one of our latest starts, 2.5 hours away, HV71 host the Espoo Blues in Jonkoping. You can see here the Blues getting familiar with the rink that they'll play on, and try to defend their 2-goal aggregate lead.


     
    So we're almost ready to roll in our two games tonight starting in Finland!

    Lukko Rauma vs. Djurgarden Stockholm
    Karpat Oulu vs. Sparta Prague
    Only 20 minutes away now . . .


    HC Litvinov arriving in Gothenburg earlier today. They have a 1-goal lead heading into the second leg, but that's narrower than ERC Ingolstadt had in the Round of 32, so they know it's far from safe.


    We've all been waiting a week, and now Tuesday is here! One more hour to go before the first two games get underway: Karpat-Sparta and Lukko-Djuargarden at 18:30 EET, 17:30 CET!


    With Norwegian defenceman Alexander Bonsaksen, Tappara travel to northern Sweden with a 1-goal aggregate lead . . .




    . . . but waiting for them are the defending European champions and their passionate fans, which won't make Coop Norrbotten Arena an easy place for a visiting team.


    Here are Djurgarden players at the end of their game-day skate earlier today in Rauma. They'll be a bit more serious when they take to the ice tonight against Lukko with a spot in the quarter-finals at stake. Lukko lead on aggregate by 1.


    One of the more intriguing games tonight is Karpat Oulu hosting Sparta Prague. After surrendering only 1 goal in their first 6 CHL games, Sparta exploded for 4 last week and have a 2-goal aggregate lead. But we surely can't count Karpat out, especially on home ice, where they're sure to bring their A-game.
