Champions Hockey League action kicked off this week with a pair of Sabres prospects each lighting the lamp to help their teams to wins in their opening games.
Elsewhere in Group A, Victor Olofsson scored the game winning goal to thrust defending champion Frolunda HC to a 2-1 win over Grizzlys Wolfsburg. With 10:27 remaining in regulation, Olofsson went to a soft spot between the hash marks, and just like Asplund, placed his stick down to redirect a swift Matt Donovan pass for the key tally.
The Champions Hockey League consists of 48 teams from 13 different countries. The clubs are split into 16 three-team groups. Two teams from each group advance to a playoff round of 32, with home and away knock-out games then being played leading up to a one-game final.
