		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.”

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."
	34:05	Power break after Linköping offside pass. Roe doesn't really agree with the call. The faceoff near the Linköping blueline.
	34:25	Högberg has little trouble with his equipment but he stays in the game with a bit longer stoppage than usual.
	35:00	Shot by Little from the small angle, Lankinen is awake.
	36:19	Lilja seemed hurt for a moment but he collects himself and shoots just wide in the other end.

		Shots on goal in the 2nd period 12-10 for HIFK. Totals are HIFK 25, Linköping 16.
		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.
		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.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.

	50:30	Eronen tries alone but his shot goes wide.
	51:00	Lilja tries a pass from the office but youngster Heiskanen intercepts it so no dangerous chance for the visitors.
	52:54	Brilliant chance created by hybrid icing. Hintz passes to Johansson but Högberg stays hot.

	58:40	Lankinen leaves the net
