    We're all over in Linkoping now too, a 1-1 tie there with IFK Helsinki to complete tonight's games. (22:13:38)
     
    And Lugano have also held on for a 3-2 after having been two goals behind!
     
    Bern have beaten JYP 3-2 to head to Finland next week with a one-goal advantage.
     
    Robert Leino equalises for HIFK in Linkoping, 10 minutes to play.
     
    End of part 1

    So wins for Frolunda (6-1) and HV71 (2-4) on the road put them in great positions ahead of next week.
     
    Lukas Pech pulls one back for Sparta, trailing HV71 4-2 at home now with just over 10 minutes to play.
     
    If you're a Berlin fan, look away now...

    Frolunda are leading by 6-1, and Petri Verhanen has just pulled himself.
     
    Another goal in Berlin, and Frolunda lead 5-1 – Christoffer Ehn scoring with jut over 14 minutes to go in the final period.
     
    Period three then in Berlin, can the Eisbaren get anything back in this game?
     
    Another amazing turnaround, this time in Bern – Marc Arcobello has scored to put the Bears 3-2 ahead of JYP at 31:26!
     
    GOAL!

    Turnarounds in two games – Bern have drawn level against JYP at two each in the middle period having trailed 2-0. Over in Lugano, the home side are now 3-2 ahead of ZSC!
     
    GOAL!

    24:48 into period two in Lugano, and the home side are level! Alessandro Chiesa ties it up for lugano against ZSC, in a game where the Lions were two up.
     
    GOAL!

    Martin Thornberg notches another and HV71 are back two ahead in Prague, leading Sparta 3-1/.
     
    GOAL!

    Sparta Prague are back in it at home to HV71, Miroslav Forman scoring on the PP at 25:11.

    In Berlin Frolunda move to 4-1 ahead, Joal Lundqvist the scorer with just over 12 minutes to play on the period.
     
    GOAL!

    Martin Thornberg adds number two for HV71 in Prague!
     
    End of part 1:

    Liberec 1-0/ Vitkovice
    SaiPa 3-2 Vaxjo
    KalPa 1-1 Fribourg

    Those are the scores which will now go into next week's matches.
     
    GOAL!

    Linkoping lead at home to IFK, thanks to Hungarian Vilmos Gallo. ZSC have scored two in Lugano and look in a good position there, while Fribourg have got a late equaliser in Kuopio!
     
    GOAL!

    Almost 55 minutes played in Liberec, and the home side have taken a dramatic lead over Vitkovice!

    In Berlin, Frolunda add a third before the break to lead 3-1 after 20 minutes. HV71 are a goal to the good in Prague after one period there.
     
    GOAL!

    Oh no Vaxjo – having worked so hard to level the game at two each, they've gone and let one in! SaiPa lead 3-2.
     
    GOAL!

    Berlin pull one back at home to Frolunda in the 17' minute, Sven Ziegler with a rocket wrist shot on the breakaway. In Bern, JYP have gone one up early.
     
    GOAL!

    HV71 take an early lead in Prague, Andersson (E) with the goal at 11:35.
     
    The games in Switzerland are starting now – Bern hosting JYP, and Lugano facing NLA rivals ZSC.
     
    GOAL!

    8:58 on the board in Berlin, Frolunda move two ahead with a PPG marker from Joel Lundqvist.
     
    Still no goals in Liberec...
     
    GOAL!

    14:11 played in Berlin, and having just missed a great chance themselves the hosts go a goal down with Sebastian Stalberg shooting through Vehanen.
     
    GOAL!

    Back out in period three on out early start in SaiPa, and Vaxjo are in the game – they have the deficit to 2-1.
     
    So that's period two done in all the early starts, with KalPa and SaiPa both leading.

    We now are about to get going in Berlin (vs. Frolunda) and Prague (vs. HV72)!
     
    GOAL!

    KalPa have taken a lead late in period two over Fribourg!
     
    Quite amazing that in almost 90 minutes of hockey across the three games so far, we have had only two goals!
     
    So just the two goals in period one, both in SaiPa, while the teams come back out for period two now.
     
    Stastny with almost an open net for Vitkovice – but he misses and it stays goalless in Liberec.
     
    No goals as yet in either of the other two games in Liberec and Kuopio.
     
    GOAL!

    It's been an awful start for Vaxjo – SaiPa score again through Trotter and it's 2-0 with 10:28 played.
     
    GOAL!

    SaiPa have taken a very early lead over Vaxjo, Brock Trotter scoring with 22s played!
     
    And away we go with the CHL Round of 16!
     
    So we're just over five minutes away from the first games getting under way:

    Liberec vs. Vitkovice
