ZURICH – The Champions Hockey League continues with four games on Wednesday, November 19 (all starting times are listed CET). All the games will be broadcast live (see TV listings below) and they will also be streamed live on www.championshockeyleague.com.

Metallurg (RUS) and Espoo (FIN) will have their first chance to secure the qualification to the semi-final on Wednesday.
Also in Group D the race is still open, with the ZSC Lions (SUI) having to win the next two games to qualify.

Group A:
Metallurg Magnitogorsk (RUS, 2W-0L) – Kärpät Oulu (FIN, 1OTL-2L)
16.00 (in Magnitogorsk).
Metallurg clinches group win and semi-final spot if they win in regulation. In this case there will be an all-Russian semi-final. If Metallurg gains less than three points this week, Eisbären has still the possibility to win the group on December 3.

Group B:
Espoo Blues (FIN, 2W-0L) – SC Bern (SUI, 1W-2L)
19.30 (in Espoo).
Espoo clinches group win and semi-final spot if they take at least one point (OT loss). Bern must win by a substantial margin if they want to remain in contention. A Bern win makes the last game HV71 vs. Espoo a decider.

Group C:
Slovan Bratislava (SVK, 0W-2L) – Mountfield C.B. (CZE, 1W-2L) 19.30 (in Bratislava).
A fight for second place. Salavat has already secured group win and semi-final participation.

Group D:
ZSC Lions (SUI, 1W-1OTL) – Linköpings HC (SWE, 0W-3L)
19.30 (in Zurich).
Linköping can't win the group anymore, but if they defeat the ZSC Lions, then Slavia is the group winner. ZSC must take at least one point in order to maintain chance to win the group. In any case (win, OT win, OT loss) they must defeat Slavia away in the last game on December 3.
Linköping might want to finish the Champions Hockey League adventure by bringing home the first win.
