		Zurich wins the second game against Ingolstadt also. A well deserved 4:1 win in an away game. Ingolstadt hab the lead in the middle of the second period, but then Zurich came up with some powerplay goals and decided the game. The Lions played with more pressure, better puck handling and their passing game was much better than the Panther's. So Zurich steps up to the next round and Ingolstadt is under pressure now against Lukko rauma, if they don't want to end this CHL season early. (18:59:29)

Mind you, @ERCIngolstadt has won 5 of 6 home #CHL games so far – including that 4-2 first leg R32 win over @frolunda_hc last year. — Darren Kilfara (@DKilfara) August 20, 2016
Having met already earlier this week on the opening night of the CHL, Ingolstadt and the ZSC Lions play their reverse match tonight in Germany. With the Lions having won the first meeting, the Panthers will know that losing is not an option – unless the want to have it all to do against Lukko Rauma, their other group opponents. “Zurich has a good team but we were really close to getting some points on Tuesday. We have got home ice this time, our fans are going to give us extra energy," says defenceman Patrick McNeill. "It is going to be a pretty fast game, both teams are fast. At ZSC, I know Mattias Sjogren. with whom I played in Hershey in the AHL. It is fun to see familiar faces in the CHL.”
