Playing in SHL’s Örebro Sampo Beach25, dazzled in the SHL round on Thursday.
In Örebro’s 5–1 win, Ranta scored two goals in HV71’s net. In particular, the 5-1 hit he completed made even the commentator of the match gasp.
The Finnish attacker took the puck away from his compatriot Lassi Lehtinen behind the back.
– So hello! What exactly is this paint? Sampo Ranta scores an incredible goal. “He and his Finnish bat,” growled the commentator of the Swedish TV4 channel.
The goal did not come as a result of Ranta’s genius alone, but it was the result of hard work.
First, Örebro’s Finnish package Peetro Seppälä delivered the puck to the end, where Ranta won his own duel situation and then hit the puck into the goal.
Ranta nudged the Finn in the struggle by Axel Rindellwho had to watch the handsome hit from the sidelines.
The beach is also a familiar sight from the national team. He has played in Finland’s youth national teams and EHT.
Ranta, who has played 16 NHL games for the Colorado Avalanche, has scored 2+1 in the seven games he has played this season.
