    Standings of group H:

    1. TPS Turku 8 PTS (3 GP)
    2. Bili Tygri Liberec 6 PTS (4 GP)
    3. Lorenskog IK 1 PTS (3 GP)
     
    For TPS Turku the situation couldn’t be more different. The Finns have won all of their matches so far and got eight points. They are going to win the group H as Liberec in the second place have already completed their game program. So the last question to answer is: can Turku get through the group without a single defeat?
     
    Lorenskog IK have got just one point out of three games and they are last in the group with no chance to move higher. The upcoming match against Turku is going to be the last performance of the Norwegian club in the CHL this season and the players will surely do their best to satisfy their fans.
