- Hosts suffered last-minute loss on Friday
- Visitors were well beaten last time out in Tampere
- Both sides realistically looking for 3-point win at worst
After their dramatic late show last week in Hamar, Djurgården Stockolm host Storhamar trying to overturn their home loss to Třinec on Friday.
Group E is extremely tight with only four points separating top and bottom. The Swedish side can put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack with a win, while if Tappara slipped up they could finish the day top.
For Storhamar they won't want last week's OT defeat to be the result that holds them back, and are expected to be backed by well over 500 fans in Stockholm. A win would lift them above today's opponents, and it's not impossible to end the day with all teams separated by only two points. Losing however would give the Norwegian champions the task of needing to beat Třinec in both of their final games, and hope other results go their way.
