Knock-out stages

In the knock-out stages, the four group winners are drawn against the four group runners-up, with the group winners having home advantage for the second leg. In the semi-finals, the team with the best record in this season's competition will have home advantage in the second leg, and this also applies in the final. The start of the knock-out stages was delayed as a result of the ongoing ICHL players' strike.
