This Champions Hockey League Round of 16 contest between SC Bern and Brynäs IF was a barn burner as the Swedes were able to capture a couple of tucks late in the game to force an OT, which saw Johan Larsson potting the game-winning goal to seal the Swedes' trip to the Quarter-Finals in remarkable fashion.

It was Brynäs's Jack Kopacka levelling the aggregate score to 2-2 while scoring the first of the game on the powerplay when he rocketed a slick feed past the glove of Bern's Adam Reideborn. Mattias Norlinder quarterbacked the play from the point as he dished it to Lucas Pettersson who found Kopacka in the near circle to secure his fourth of the tournament.

Bern took their play to another level in the second, however, netting three goals with two coming in the span of 40 seconds. 

A powerplay tally from Miro Aaltonen made it a 3-2 aggregate score, which was then quickly increased to a two-goal advantage thanks to Hardy Häman Aktell's seeing-eye shot from just above the top of the right circle. The Swiss would then claim their third goal of the middle frame as Joël Vermin beat Collin Delia through the pads, capitalising on a rebound opportunity in close.

The Swedes were able to quell their opponents' momentum when they manufactured their second of the night to cut the aggregate deficit to two goals. It was Jakob Silfverberg lighting the lamp as he stayed with the play, pursued the puck, and forced it home at 32:34.

Brynäs continued to make the home fans uncomfortable, this time in the third when Kopacka registered his second on a tap-in backdoor tally. A cross-crease feed from Michal Kempný allowed the American to find enough space to slide it home and make another dent in the Swiss' lead.

The hosts had a chance to seal their victory with a late powerplay, but were unable to convert. Still chasing a one-goal deficit, the visitors pulled their netminder in favour of the sixth skater. This strategy proved successful as Oskar Lindblom drove home the equaliser to make it 5-5 on aggregate at 59:04.

The extra session ensued with the Swedes completing the comeback to win the game, and with it the series, as Larsson played hero to help his club secure their place in the next leg of the tournament.
