The Wednesday action will get going at 17:30 CET when SaiPa Lappeenranta meet reigning Czech Extraliga champions Dynamo Pardubice again on the European stage! The Finns took a home win back in the Regular Season and are the only team that have beaten Pardubice so far this season.

Some 15 minutes later in Switzerland, our all-Swiss Round of 16 series will commence as past CHL Champions Genève-Servette and reigning National League champions Fribourg-Gottéron face-off. Read up on why we think this First Game is worth some extra attention here!
