• Games may end as a tie in the first legs tonight – no overtime or shootouts,
• The ice is specially painted with CHL branding,
• Both referees will be from abroad, working with two linesmen from the home team's country.
• NEXT WEEK, overtime will be played if the score is tied on aggregate. In the playoffs, OT is 4-on-4 for 10 minutes.

Every game counts

Home-ice advantage in the Quarter-Finals (and Semi-Finals) will be decided by the overall record of teams (Group Stage + Round of 16 / for Semi-Finals: + Quarter-Finals), with the team with more accumulated points playing the return game at home – subject to arena availability of each team. This means that every match carries importance, as teams are not only trying to qualify for the next round but also do so with a good enough record to secure home-ice advantage at the next stage.
