Today, for the first time this season, HIFK has a chance for a three-game winning streak. Having struggled all season in the lowlands, HIFK has shown an upward trend in recent matches – both in terms of play and results. With yesterday’s fully deserved 3–2 victory over TPS, the team already got out of the jumbo place in the standings. It is worth noting that today, for the first time this season, HIFK has a chance for a three-game winning streak, if Jukurit falls at home. In addition to the good results, it is also significant that in its last two winning matches against TPS and Lukko, HIFK has won the game by the expected goal (3.4–1.9 and 3.0–1.9). As for home matches, today HIFK has the opportunity to extend its winning streak to four games. Below are the victories over Äss (3–0), Kärpi (4–3 and.) and TPS (3–2). In those three winning games, HIFK recorded a total of 167–122 shots and 9.5–6.5 expected goals. Based on these, the team is clearly going in a better direction. In the assembly department at HIFK, it is worth checking to see if Vincent Marleau and Kalle Ervasti, who got punched yesterday, are there.
