SC Bern vs HC Kosice

Currently sitting top of the group with a perfect record, SC Bern also have the advantage of playing their two remaining games at home. A point confirms Bern as not only qualified but group winners – while Linz will have to better Kosice's result in Bern tonight to stand any chance of qualifying – unless of course the Slovaks win in regulation, in which case the Black Wings could only force a three-way tie in the group at best.

"We were not pleased with our last exhibition game at home against EV Zug, and now we've had 10 days with no games. So there are two goals against HC Kosice on Saturday: first, we absolutely want to make the CHL playoffs, and second, we want to perform well in front of our fans," says Andrew Ebbet of Bern. About the team's play in the CHL so far, he said, "We had pretty good games and won in Kosice and Linz. It’s now time to build on those performances. And we're looking forward to having our new Canadian Kris Versteeg play with the team tonight."
