While TPS Turku can’t advance to the next round, Yunost Minsk arrive in Finland knowing they simply have to win to stay alive - although could be eliminated by other results going against them.

The Finns have failed to live up to promise despite youngster Kaapo Kakko being a highlight in earlier games, and again find themselves not going into the playoffs. In their own league however it’s been a different story, two points off the lead after 10 games has them in a great position early on.

Yunost need a win and Malmö to lose in Munich to stay alive, but have never managed a road win in the Champions Hockey League. 11 wins from 11 games however in their own domestic championship should see them head north with some confidence - averaging almost five goals a game, and just one against. Andrei Antonov and Mihail Stefanovich have been helping themselves to points in Belarus, with 16 and 14 respectively.
