		The game is over and the Capitals will travel back to Austria with three well deserved points. A well performed game by them against a tough opponent. Kelsey Tessier is the man of the match with his two goals and one assist. Thank you for following this liveblog and I hope to see you all again! (22:27:21)

		The CRAMO top scorers are Andrew Calof (SKE) and Jamie Fraser (VIE).
		Starting lineups: Skellefteå AIK: Lindvall (Stålberg) – Burström, Aho, M.Pettersson, Djuse, Berglund, H.Danielsson, A.Danielsson – J.Lindström, Hetta, Ericsson, A.Pettersson, Lindholm, Calof, E.Pettersson, Petterström, Olofsson, L.Lindström, Söderlund, Wingerli, Ohlsson. Vienna Capitals: Lamoureux (Kickert) – Bowman, Fraser, Brocklehurst, Lakos, Cuma, McKiernan, Hackl – Rotter, Holzapfel, Tessier, Nodl, Pollastrone, Vause, Maxa, Ferland, Fischer, Bauer, Bolterle, Grosslercher, Nissner. Referees: Kulev (RUS), Öhlund – Sandström, Käck (All SWE).
		As Skelleftea have already qualified, Vienna Capitals head north with two chances to try and take care of qualification to the next round. A win in Skelleftea would take them to within a point of the next round, while a loss would see them with two games against KalPa to decide who follows Skelleftea into the next round. "It's going to be a difficult challange. We have to stay focussed and avoid mistakes. It will be important to play our game, to wait for chances and to score," said Capitals' forward Rafael Rotter. "This will be the key to win the game. We know that we can succeed as we showed it in the first game against Skelleftea!"
		Welcome. Game starts at 20:00.
