IFK Helsinki vs Esbjerg Energy

Esbjerg's late rally and eventual overtime win over IFK Helsinki earlier this week means they stand on the brink of becoming the first Danish team to make it past the CHL Group Stage. A point will do it for the Energy, while IFK need the full three in a regulation win to get through.

Esbjerg find themselves on the verge of clinching following Friday night's 4-3 overtime win on home ice. Coach Mark Pederson was obviously pleased with his team's resilience – coming back to tie it three times - but knows the job isn't finished. "We still need some points from the next game and you never know how the game in Helsinki will look like, but I’m sure we will play with the same attitude."
