Tappara Tampere play their first CHL home game of the new season against HC Lugano.

After two games each, Group C is completely knotted up at thre points each, with all three teams beating each other in regulation time. On Saturday night, Tappara Tampere play their first home game of the competition against HC Lugano, and the two teams will begin the process of untying the knot – or not. 

In their first meeting on Tuesday in Lugano, the home side opened the scoring in the first period but Tampere evened it in the second and then won it in the third. Whoever wins this game would move into first place in the group, with both teams still left to play one game against Adler Mannheim.
