Lausanne HC hosted Ilves Tampere at the Vaudoise Aréna in Switzerland for Game Day 3 of the Champions Hockey League Regular Season. With both teams eager to secure more points and stay on the qualifying side of the leaderboard, the match was brimming with energy from the get-go.

The first period belonged to the home team, as Lausanne secured a 2-0 lead. Antti Suomela opened the scoring at 11:05, receiving a perfectly timed pass from Ahti Oksanen and finishing it with a precise shot. Shortly after, Ken Jäger doubled Lausanne's advantage, fooling the goalie with a clever move that left him an open net to score into.

Ilves came out strong in the second period, determined to close the gap. At 28:19, Eemeli Suomi capitalised on a loose puck after a skirmish along the boards, sending it into the top corner just above the goalie’s mask to make it 2-1. However, Ilves' momentum was hampered by multiple penalties, including an unnecessary one for too many men on the ice at 32:29. Lausanne wasted no time as Suomela netted his second goal of the night on the powerplay to extend their lead to 3-1.

The final period saw an explosion of goals with five more added to the scoreboard. Ilves struck first, reducing the deficit to one after Daniel Gazda fired a sharp shot into the net, but Lausanne quickly responded as Michael Raffl restored the two-goal cushion, followed by Michael Hügli making it 5-2. Ken Jäger then scored while short-handed, and with just 40 seconds remaining, Suomela completed his hattrick, sealing a decisive 7-2 victory for Lausanne and three more points in the Regular Season Standings.
