Remember, these games are all the first of two-game series, and the same teams will all meet each other again the following Tuesday, 11 November, in the opposite city. The winners of the series, who will advance to the quarter-finals, will be determined according to the following criteria:
- The team that scores the most goals after 120 minutes of hockey (two regulation games) is the winner. For this purpose, the football "away goal rule" does not apply. All goals carry equal weight.
- No Overtime or Game-Winning Shots (shootout) will be played after the first game, even if it ends in a tie. Overtime will only be played after the second game if the total series score is even.
- Overtime in the eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals will be 10 minutes in length and sudden-death (golden goal). Teams will skate 4-on-4 at full strength.
- As in all penalty shootouts so far in the CHL, teams will continue to use five shooters each.
