Färjestad was the best of all teams in the CHL group stage, which means that the Karlstad club is top-seeded ahead of the playoffs. There, Finnish Tappara – 16th and last team to advance – awaits when the round of 16 is decided, starting on November 12-13.
After the group stage was completed on Wednesday evening, it is also clear that Växjö will face Swiss Fribourg-Gottéron, while Skellefteå will measure themselves against German Bremerhaven.
Other round of 16 matches: Zürich–Straubing, Lausanne–Genève-Servette, Ocelári Trinec–Sparta Prag, Berlin–Sheffield, Salzburg–Pelicans.
