The regular season of the ice hockey SM league is coming to an end.
In Friday’s round, all eyes will be on Tampere, where Ilves and Tappara will face each other. The teams are the top two in the series and the winner of the regular season may already be decided in the match.
There will also be a tough battle for the last playoff spot, as Mikkelin Jukurit won their own match yesterday Thursday and rose to tenth place. HPK and KooKoo need points from this round to keep their playoff dreams alive.
