    That's it from us tonight, hope you had a #GreatDayAtCHL! (22:03:06)
     
    It's over! Nothing about the semi-finalist has been decided today as the game comes to an end with an even score. In the third period, neither of the teams wanted to make a mistake and the game turned into a tight defensive-minded battle.
     
    Game over.
     
    59:35
    One last chance of bern but Rufenacht's shot from a tough angle sails well wide.
     
    58:20
    Ebbett tries his luck from the left circle but Piskacek returns with him and blocks the puck all the way up into the netting.
     
    57:31
    Bodenmann's shot is blocked and Jiri Kalous's side is setting up another counter-attack.
     
    56:43
    There is not much action to write about late in the third period, everything is still open in this quarter-final matchup.
     
    55:50
    Lukas Cingel cuts in on Genoni from the right side but his shot is steered away.
     
    54:51
    Sparta locked their opponent in front of Genoni but he didn't have to make a save except for when Pech tested him from the right circle.
     
    54:20
    We hear the whistle after a pretty long section of play and there will be another power break.
     
    53:39
    Neither of the teams want to make a mistake which would deteriorate their chances in the second game on Czech ice.
     
    52:30
    The puck is constantly moving from one end of the ice to the other, but no chances were to be seen recently.
     
    51:15
    The guests win the puck in a battle in the left corner and Kumstat is setting up a quick counter.
     
    50:05
    Kamerzin and Forman get involved into some pushing and shoving after a not-so-good shot by the former.
     
    49:17
    Lukas Pech shoots from the right circle but his wrister sails well wide.
     
    48:10
    Thomas Rufenacht loses the puck after a battle in the corner and the guests are setting up a rather rare counter-attack.
     
    47:19
    Jobin wins another face-off in the offensive zone, Sparta Prague just can't find a groove in the last few minutes.
     
    46:27
    The play is blown dead yet again and a power break will follow this time.
     
    45:21
    Not much is happening on the ice as of now, Tomas Popperle now held on for a draw after Moser's dump-in from the neutral zone.
