Group A comes to a close in Finland, with Tappara Tampere having already secured their place in the Round of 16 following Tuesday's results. EHC Biel-Bienne's win over KAC Klagenfurt means that the Finnish side will host Frisk Asker with both teams' fates already secured.
With the final game taking place in the Hakametsä Stadium, the home of Tappara Tampere, they’ll be looking to repeat the success they had against Asker on Game Day 5 where they skated away with a hard fought 3-1 victory. Coming into the final game of the Group Stage, the Finnish side sit second in Group A, ahead of KAC Klagenfurt but tied on points. Tyler Morley has proven to be a great addition to the squad this year after his move to Tappara, and he currently leads the team with a goal and five assists through five games, while Charles Bertrand is among the leading goal scorers in the tournament with five on the campaign.

Despite not registering a single point so far, Asker have had some good performances, with both of their games against Group A leaders EHC Biel-Bienne being decided by just one goal each.
