Who will move on to the 2023 Champions Hockey League Final will be decided in Tuesday’s Semi-Finals Return Games as the race to find the two Finalists enters its final stage!
Following a 2-2 draw in last week's Semi-Finals First Game, anything is possible in the clash of two previous CHL Champions, as both 2014/15 Champions Luleå Hockey and four-time CHL Champions Frölunda Gothenburg enter their game in northern Sweden scheduled for 18:05 CET with a tied aggregate score.
The First Game, played in Gothenburg, saw Luleå lead for most of the game until Frölunda scored a series-equaliser with under three minutes of game time left.
Swiss champions EV Zug will try to overturn a two-goal deficit against last season's Runners-up Tappara Tampere in their Return Game in Switzerland at 20:15 CET. Zug, who lost their very first game of the season against Tappara last week, will depend on the support of their faithful fans in the Bossard Arena as they try to write history by becoming the first-ever Swiss team to play in a CHL Final.
On the other hand, Liiga champions Tappara, who enter the game with a nice two-goal lead, will be keen to replicate their success from last season by securing their place in the Final for a second season in a row.
Here’s what’s coming up on Tuesday (times in CET):
18:05 Luleå Hockey vs Frölunda Gothenburg
20:15 EV Zug vs Tappara Tampere
Aggregate score
The Round of 16, Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals are played in a home-and-away, two-game series format and are decided on combined aggregate score of the First and Return Game. Overtime and shootouts are used in the Return Game if the aggregate score is tied after regulation.
Overtime is played 10 minute sudden-death, 3-on-3. The team that score the first goal are declared the winner of the series. Should no goals be scored, a shootout (five shooters each team) will determine who advances to the next round.
