Having met already earlier this week on the opening night of the CHL, Ingolstadt and the ZSC Lions play their reverse match tonight in Germany. With the Lions having won the first meeting, the Panthers will know that losing is not an option – unless the want to have it all to do against Lukko Rauma, their other group opponents.

“Zurich has a good team but we were really close to getting some points on Tuesday. We have got home ice this time, our fans are going to give us extra energy," says defenceman Patrick McNeill. "It is going to be a pretty fast game, both teams are fast. At ZSC, I know Mattias Sjogren. with whom I played in Hershey in the AHL. It is fun to see familiar faces in the CHL.”
