    Empty netter for the Lions, ZSC go up 2-0 and will take all three points against Ingolstadt. (22:01:15)
     
    Under five minutes to play in Weinfelden, and no change in the score- ZSC still up by one.
     
    Back for the third period in the ZSC/Ingolstadt game – hosts leading by a single goal.
     
    So ZSC lead by just the one goal as the two sides head to the locker rooms.
     
    Goal!

    Reto Schappi opens the scoring for the ZSC Lions with just under five minutes to play in period two.
     
    6:16 left on the clock in the middle session of ZSC vs. Ingolstadt, and still no goals to report there.
     
    So what's the situation?

    Vitkovice Ostrava 2-4 Oulun Karpat
    Kosice 3-6 SC Bern
    Yunost Minsk 4-3 Mlada Boleslav
    ZSC Lions 0-0 ERC Ingolstadt (In period two)
     
    Goal!

    Dramatic finish in Minsk! Going down two skaters in the finalstages was always going got be a challenge for Mlada Boleslav, but it proved to be too much. Viktor TURKIN at 57:51 puts Yunost ahead, 4-3.
     
    That'll be game, set, and match to Bern then – Arcobello scoring deep in the third to make it 6-3. Kosice have battled valiantly, but with 1:18 to play they won't get anything out of this.
     
    Goal!

    6:10 to play in Kosice, and the hosts just won't go away, Tibor Varga pulling it back to 3-5.
     
    Goal!

    If Bern were starting to have a little wobble Alain Berger has settled some nerves – now 5-2 up in Kosice with 7:07 to play... some pretty suspect net minding on that one though.
     
    It's been a real seesaw game in Minsk, with Mlada Boleslav now having tied the game again at three each.
     
    Kosice have pulled the game back to 2-4 at home to Bern, while Yunost Minsk still lead Boleslav 3-2. Both of these games in the third period.
     
    First points on the board...

    For Karpat Oulu. Last season's beaten finalists have won 4-2 in Ostrava against Vitkovice.

    Meanwhile period three is underway in Kosice, and has started horribly for the hosts – Bern adding another to lead 4-1.
     
    Teams back on the ice for the final period in Kosice, while the game between ZSC Lions & Ingolstadt is getting underway.
     
    Hang on a minute, are Vitkovice back in this? Well, they've pulled it back to 2-3 at 58:23 through Karol SLOBODA, while also playing with an empty net!
     
    Six minutes then for Vitkovice to salvage anything for their game at home to Karpat...
     
    How things stand

    Vitkovice Ostrava 1-3 Oulun Karpat (In third)
    Kosice 1-3 SC Bern (End 2)
    Yunost Minsk 3-2 Mlada Boleslav (In x2second third)
     
    A SUPERB finish from Jesse Niinimaki on the backhand puts Yunost Minsk back ahead of Boleslav, with under five minutes to go in the middle period.
     
    Back on the ice in Ostrava, Vitkovice need two goals to get level against Karpat in the final period.
