It's the Champions Hockey League Round of 16. Today is the second game of the two-game series between Lukko and Bolzano. Game One was played November 16: Bolzano 1 - 3 Lukko.
[Well, here's fine a howdy-do. Today's game between Bolzano and Lukko is cancelled due to Covid in the Lukko dressing room. As there is no window for a rematch the series win goes to the winner of the first game -- Lukko.]
