Lukko took a big step towards a regular season victory in Monday’s only league game. Serie A defeated its closest threat, Tappara, with a score of 5–2.
The difference between Luko and Tappara is now 11 points. However, it should be noted that Tappara has played three matches less than Lukko.
However, Tappara’s big challenge when thinking about the season is the match rush at the end of the regular season. In addition to 14 league matches, Tappara will play the CHL final within 31 days.
Tappara’s starting point for Monday’s top fight was challenging when he was 20 years old Paavo Kohonen your luck was on the sidelines Christian Heljanko in the first league start of his career. Also Jussi Tapola was sidelined for the match.
Luko’s sharp start to the match guaranteed it a tasty away win. Anrei Hakulinen rang up Jori Lehterän through his foot for the opening goal, and just 24 seconds after that, Hakulinen cheated elegantly of Thomas Grégoire to score.
Also at the beginning of the second period we saw hits in a short period of time. A good minute after Lehterä’s narrowing Josh Kestner led Luko to a two-goal lead again from the penalty shot.
Lock defender Tarmo Reunanen flew into the shower in the final set when he tackled Tappara Joni Tuulolaa on. Tuulola is the under-20 world champion from the 2015-2016 season.
However, Tappara couldn’t score with their five-minute advantage.
Tuulola, who was hit, continued to play and made Tappara’s 2-3 draw. However, Lukko held his ground at the end and dunked the puck twice into Tappara’s empty goal.
