Beim @ERCIngolstadt angekommen. Morgen @championshockey-Spiel! Faceoff 16:30. #CHL pic.twitter.com/XhSPfoj0el — ZSC Lions (@zsclions) August 19, 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.”
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

		We had four goals in this period. Zurich is heading to the locker room with a 3:1-lead. This is well deserved. They're playing with a lot of confidence, especially after their first goal. Ingolstadt was under huge presure in the last ten minute of this period and had pig problems to get out of their own zone and controll the puck in their few offensive situations. The goal for Ingolstadt was typical for their game, it was scored after a counter attack. Third period will start at 18:20 CET, 19:20 EET.

	47:25	Zurich at full strength.
	48:10	Good chance for Zurich on a two-on-one attack. The forward dives for the puck and brings it to the net, but Pielmeier stops it.
	48:46	Today's attendance is 2355.
	48:46	Game continues with faceoff in Ingolstadt's zone.

	59:00	Last minute to play.
	59:45	Nothing to happen here anymore.
		Game over.
		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)
