Bili Tygri Liberec host TPS Turku.

After opening their CHL schedule with a home win against Lorenskog on Wednesday, TPS travelled to the Czech Republic on Thursday and are right back at it on Friday. Their test will be a litte bit tougher this time around on the road against Czech champions Bili Tygri Liberec.

"In my past experience every time I have played against Czech team, they are always very skilled players, very dangerous offensively," said TPS centre Eric Perrin. "I think that the key to playing against those teams is to be good defensively and then capitalize on those attacks when we do have them. So, it’s gonna be a defence-first mentality for sure.”

After dropping a point at home due to a last-minute equalizer from Lorenskog, Liberec play their final CHL group stage home game under a little pressure to get a result and pull away from their Norwegian opponents. Having beaten Lorenskog at home, TPS sit top of the group and will move further in front of Liberec with a win tonight, and be on the verge of making the next round.

"TPS Turku is a club with such a great history and one of the best teams of the Finnish Liiga. Despite disappointing results in the past two seasons, the team is strong and of course they want to be successful again," said Liberec head coach Filip Pesan. "The CHL can help them with this goal. I think their next season will be much better so I expect an attractive, traditional and tough opponent."
