		That's it! A single goal means Linköping advances and will likely play against fellow Swedish team Frölunda.
		Game over.
	59:39	HIFK timeout. The faceoff is from the centre.
	58:40	Lankinen leaves the net
	57:55	Carlsson makes a mistake while avoiding icing at all costs. Dangerous chance. Later Lundgren defends a wrap-around attempt.
	56:45	Eronen hits the net but from the wrong side.
	54:00	Hintz can't get a shot out of chance created to him.
	53:30	A breakaway change for visitors but it is stopped.
	52:54	Brilliant chance created by hybrid icing. Hintz passes to Johansson but Högberg stays hot.
	51:00	Lilja tries a pass from the office but youngster Heiskanen intercepts it so no dangerous chance for the visitors.
	50:30	Eronen tries alone but his shot goes wide.
	49:59	Little shows his stance by sliding block on shot by Finley. Quickly in the other end, Bergfors has a breakaway but it goes wide.

	46:30	Coast-to-coast attempt by Roe but this was stopped at the final defenseman.
	43:30	Little steals the puck and feeds Fogström who shoots wide.
	41:27	Backhand attempt by Little and sliding save by Lankinen.
		Johansson shoots from the left wing but Högberg is again keeping the puck away from the net.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Ikonen missed the end of 2nd period due to the situation which gave the penalty for Christensen but returns now along with the rest of the team.
		11 seconds remaining on HIFK power play while 3rd period begins. It's still one-goal-game with 20 minutes remaining, along with possible overtime if this game ends in a draw just like the first one.
		Shots on goal in the 2nd period 12-10 for HIFK. Totals are HIFK 25, Linköping 16.
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:18	Good shot-blocking from the Swedes, as HIFK keeps the puck in the offensive zone for most of the power play.
	38:11	Christensen hits Ikonen and is called for boarding.
	37:30	Giveaway by Grillfors leads to a chance for the visitors, but no goal.
	36:50	A miss by Lundgren gives Saarelainen a partial breakaway, Näkyvä pokes the puck away.
	36:19	Lilja seemed hurt for a moment but he collects himself and shoots just wide in the other end.
	35:00	Shot by Little from the small angle, Lankinen is awake.
	34:25	Högberg has little trouble with his equipment but he stays in the game with a bit longer stoppage than usual.
	34:05	Power break after Linköping offside pass. Roe doesn't really agree with the call. The faceoff near the Linköping blueline.
Onhan toi Johanssonin staga melko hämmentävän lyhyt. Mutta ei se pituus, vaan se miten sitä stagaa käyttää? :) #HIFK #CHLfi pic.twitter.com/GCKOgUKhUg — Riku Laukkanen (@r1kuexposures) November 8, 2016 "Johansson's stick is very short. But the lenght doesn't matter, only how you use the stick."
	32:00	Tamminen deflects a pass ahead of Linköping net but it hits Högberg again.
	29:55	A Generous shot hits Little who looks for a breakaway, but Generous plays the rest of it well enough.
	28:20	Hintz gets a shot from the loose puck, Högberg saves.
	27:43	Olimb throws a hit but the referee calls it interference.
	26:20	Great takeaway by Partanen and feed to Salmela, but Högberg saves it.

	23:50	Gordon tries to catch Little with a pass but the latter can't get it.

	20:01	Start of 2nd period.

		It's winner takes all in the Finnish capital after IFK and Linkoping played out a tie in last week's match. IFK went in level against TPS in the last round before eventually going through on a shootout, while Linkoping won big on the road in Davos in the Round of 32. ”Last week we played a tough game in Linköping, but managed to get a draw. That gives us a good starting point in the second leg and maybe a tiny bit of advantage too," suggested IFK Head Coach Antti Törmänen. "We know however that we are up against a quality hockey team. It’s an interesting situation for the players to play a game this huge in November. This just keeps getting better.”
