Five qualifiers down, three to go - it's crunch time in the Champions Hockey League Playoffs as six teams remaining in the race for the European Trophy will drop down to just three when the buzzer sounds for the final time tonight.
The Return Game of our all-Czech clash will get the evening's action going at 18:00 CET with Oceláři Třinec playing hosts to familiar opponents Sparta Prague who head into the game with a nice three-goal buffer in hand.
Our clash of two Swiss teams will go ahead at 19:45 CET when Genève-Servette face Lausanne HC on home ice. With a five-goal advantage in hand, the reigning CHL Champions are steaming towards the Quarter-Finals but 60 minutes of game time can bring big surprises.
Just one goal separated Red Bull Salzburg and the Lahti Pelicans in last week's very close First Game. Who will take the win and the entire series in tonight's all-deciding Return Game at 20:20 CET?
Here’s what’s coming up today (all times CET):
18:00 Oceláři Třinec vs. Sparta Prague
19:45 Genève-Servette vs. Lausanne HC
20:20 Red Bull Salzburg vs. Lahti Pelicans

Aggregate Score
The Round of 16, Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals are played in a home-and-away, two-game series format and are decided on combined aggregate score of the First and Return Game. Overtime and shootouts are used in the Return Game if the aggregate score is tied after regulation.
Overtime is played 10 minute sudden-death, 3-on-3. The team that score the first goal are declared the winner of the series. Should no goals be scored, a shootout (five shooters each team) will determine who advances to the next round.
