JYP had time to rise to two-three draws with two goals in the third set before Juuso Pärssinen was the last captain of the JYP captain Jan Scotkan subject to a violent open ice auction.
Pärssinen, who was carrying the puck, hiked his head badly and fell to the surface of the ice, where he was treated for several minutes.
Scotka was sentenced to 5 + 20 minutes for tackling a head or neck area
Pärssinen, who had been carried out on the stretcher, was conscious after the match. An update posted by TPS on his Twitter account says he asked one question before the ambulance left: “Did you win?”
Pärssinen, 21, has scored in this match 41 seasons 9 + 23 = 32. He is a contract player for the NHL club Nashville Predators and plays in the ranks of TPS on a loan agreement.
The game was sentenced to another game penalty after TPS Vladislav Ushenin received a shower sentence for kicking.
TPS finally won the match 4-3 after the winning goal competition.
Even later in the evening, TPS published a message from Pärssinen, in which he said that his well-being was “jees.” At the same time, Pärssinen conveyed his gratitude for the messages he received.
