Remember, these games are all the second of two-game series, and the same teams already met last week in the opposite city. For the results of those games, check the schedule. The winners of the series, who will advance to the semi-finals, will be determined according to the following criteria:
- The team that scores the most goals after 120 minutes of hockey (two regulation games) is the winner. For this purpose, the football "away goal rule" does not apply. All goals carry equal weight.
- No Overtime or Game-Winning Shots (shootout) were played after the first game, even if it ended in a tie. Overtime will only be played after the second game if the total series score is even.
- Overtime in the eighth-finals, quarter-finals and semi-finals is 10 minutes in length and sudden-death (golden goal). Teams skate 4-on-4 at full strength.
- As in all penalty shootouts so far in the CHL, teams will continue to use five shooters each.
After Tuesday's games have been played, the semi-final match-ups will be known. Check the playoff bracket to see each team's path to the final. The team with the better record in their first 10 games (group stage, eighth-finals and quarter-finals combined) will have home-ice advantage in the semi-finals.
