Lorenskog IK managed to earn a point on the road in their CHL debut after a 4-3 overtime loss to Bili Tygri Liberec. Read more in Gamecentre.

They were huge underdogs and, frankly, were badly outplayed all game long, but nonetheless Lorenksog IK took Czech champions Bili Tygri Liberec to overtime in their CHL debut - ultimately falling on Mario Bliznak's overtime goal. 

Liberec outshot Lorenskog by a decisive 14-2 margin in the first period, and yet the score was tied 1-1, thanks to Mikael Dokken's early goal and Jeff Jakaitis's great goaltending - he was beaten only by a fantastic effort from Jan Ordos in the 17th minute. The two periods to follow were more of the same, yet each time each team scored once. Liberec may have thought they finally had the game after Radek Simek's power play goal with just over 10 minutes to play, but, amazingly, James Sexmith's seeing-eye shot through traffic beat Jan Lasak with just three seconds to play – Lorenskog's third goal on their eighth shot of the game.

"I am happy with the effort we put into today’s game," said Liberec head coach Filip Pesan. "The guys were skating pretty well and we had so many chances that it would be enough for three games. What I'm not happy with is that we couldn’t capitalize on many of those opportunities and we took too many penalties, especially the one in the end that cost us a regulation win. However, I didn’t see that one, so I’ll have to see the replay."
