The knockout phase of the Champions Hockey League kicks off Tuesday with a Swiss rivalry as Lausanne takes on defending champions Servette. Both teams have reached the Round of 16, ensuring at least one National League team advances. While Servette holds the title, Lausanne is favored due to their stronger regular-season performance, finishing third in the CHL and winning both matches against Servette this season. This marks only the second time Swiss teams have faced each other in the knockout stage, with ZSC Lions also competing against Straubing.
