It’s a game which only has significance for Liberec as they could still win the group if Vaxjo slip up on home ice.

The hosts go into the game off the back of a 4-1 win over rivals ZSC Lions in the NLA the past weekend. HCD would need a point to avoid finishing last in the group, depending what happens in the other game in the group.

For Liberec meanwhile the White Tigers are gradually welcoming back players from injury. Their win over Davos last week means they travel to the Swiss Alps without the pressure of needing a result.
