A late go-ahead goal gave SaiPa the win last week and sees them head to Sweden with a one-goal advantage. The Finns have already won in Sweden this year in Lulea, while Vaxjo have yet to lose on their own ice in the CHL this season.

"SaiPa are a good team, quick on transitions and solid in defence," commented Lakers' assistant coach Fredrik Hellgren. "They have a one-goal lead so now it's up to us to put all the elements of our game together, and play with energy to take us further in the tournament."

"The first game was something we expected, very fast transition hockey from Vaxjo We were ready from the first shift, and thats something we are looking for tonight as well," said SaiPa assistant coach Tuomo Ropo. "We want to have a good start in our return game. We know Växjö has lot of skilled players, so we have to keep our distances very small and help each other at both ends of the ice."

Welcome. Game starts at 19:00.
