After picking up three points from their opening two home games, the Cardiff Devils head on the road this week in their 2021/22 Champions Hockey League campaign.

Jarrod Skalde's side will fly to Germany on Wednesday before looking for revenge against Mannheim at the SAP Arena on Thursday. COVID-19 restrictions in the country mean that the team can only use half of their 13,600 capacity.

On Friday, the Devils head to Switzerland ahead of Saturday's clash with Lausanne HC, who were beaten 4-1 at Ice Arena Wales.

With an average attendance of 2592, the Devils have the second-highest crowd figures across the entire competition so far.

No Elite League team has ever won a road game in Germany or Switzerland in the CHL. Away successes to date were the Panthers' win in Hradec Králové, and Cardiff's victory in Graz.
