    This is it from us tonight, hope you had a #GreatDayAtCHL! (21:58:56)
     
    It's over! Eisbaren holds on to defeat the 2014/2015 champions! With less than 11 minutes remaining in regulation, stay-at-home defenceman Frank Hoerdler beat Lassinantti from the top of the circles and this goal proved to be the game winner as Lulea's offensive push came too late.
     
    Game over.
     
    59:49
    The puck is in the corner!
     
    59:34
    After an icing by the home team, there will be maybe one last face-off in front of Petri Vehanen.
     
    59:25
    André Rankel intercepts the puck and taps it to the neutral zone.
     
    58:46
    Another golden opportunity for Eisbaren but the puck hits the net from the outside!
     
    58:17
    Daine Todd waits in his own zone for his teammates as the time is quickly winding down.
     
    57:50
    Nick Petersen has a golden chance to seal the deal but fails to hit the empty net!
     
    57:08
    Bruneteau fires the puck to safety as Lassinantti is headed towards the bench!
     
    56:21
    Moullierat finds one of his teammates in the slot but Vehanen is there to make a sprawling pad save!
     
    55:51
    Stefan Nilsson uses his timeout with four minutes remaining in the third frame.
     
    55:51
    Marcel Noebels (EIS) trips his opponent, this will be a great chance for Lulea to get things even!
     
    55:22
    Julius Junttila forces Vehanen to make a save but it was an easy one this time.
     
    54:37
    Mikkelsen's long pass is too long, the puck ends up on an icing and a power break will follow.
     
    53:05
    It seems like Lassinantti was about to cover the puck but surprisingly, he shook it off his catching glove.
     
    52:17
    Both teams are at full strength, the guests from Sweden have less than eight minutes to tie things up.
     
    50:59
    Talbot centers the puck from behind the net but the play is broken up. Nevertheless, the home team power play unit is still in the offensive zone.
     
    50:17
    Vehanen is levelled to the ice by Anton Hedman's (LUE) unfair hit and the Lulea defenceman receives a two minute penalty. Afterwards, there is some pushing and shoving in front of the net and Marcel Noebels (EIS) with Andreas Falk (LUE) both receive matching minors for roughing.
