It’s the last round of the group stage and, while six teams have already secured their spots among the last 16, there are still 10 places available with 17 teams in contention for them. Some of the scenarios are quite straightforward while others could potentially come down to tiebreaking procedures.

EHC Biel-Bienne (SUI) – win or OT loss. If they lose in regulation, they would still qualify if the loss is by 4 goals or less, or if Tappara Tampere fail to win in regulation.
