Lulea Hockey vs Eisbaren Berlin

The 2014-15 CHL champions will be eliminated tonight in the group stage if they fail to win this game in regulation. Should they manage the three-point win, Berlin will head to SaiPa needing at least a point (possibly two, depending on the Lulea result) to make the next round. If the Eisbaren are victorious in any form tonight, they could still win the group when they travel to Finland this weekend.

"Of course we're looking forward to the game," said Berlin coach Uwe Krupp in yesterday's press conference. "We have a good position in the group. That doesn't mean we're already there, but we are in a position where making the next round is possible. If we play well, we have the chance to compete further in this tournament."
