Winner-takes-all in Helsinki

It's winner takes all in the Finnish capital after IFK Helsinki 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 Linkoping, 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 Tormanen. "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.”
