It is quite possible that no Game Day 6 match-up has more on the line than when HC Davos host Bílí Tygři Liberec, so it’s somewhat appropriate that it will be one of the last two games to face off in the Champions Hockey League Regular Season.

Neither team has secured a spot in the knockout stages yet but both head into Game Day 6 above the Playoff cut-off line ahead of Tuesday's first set of six games. Davos have one more point than Liberec and what exactly each team needs to advance should be clearer by the time the game starts, with multiple other results and scenarios affecting each team's chances of making the Playoffs.

Liberec have seven points following last week’s big 3-2 overtime win over reigning CHL Champions Frölunda Gothenburg. They have the CHL’s third-best face-off percentage at 57.45%. Linemates Radan Lenc and Filip Sandberg are the team’s top two scorers so far with five points each – Lenc has five goals and Sandberg four assists.

With eight points, Davos were unable to secure a Playoff spot last week when they fell 3-2 to Rögle Ängelholm and they enter Game Day 6 still not confirmed to make an appearance in the knockout rounds. They have the CHL’s best powerplay at 33.33% and the most hits per game at 8.80, led by Sven Jung’s nine. Filip Zadina is tied fourth in CHL scoring with eight points.
