Jesse Puljujärvi has started his season in the Swiss top league with a big bang. The Finnish forward of Geneve Servette has scored 6+3=9 points in six games.

Puljujärvi has scored points in five games, averaging one goal per game. His early season performance places him third in the league’s scoring leaderboard.

The top spots in the Swiss scoring leaderboard are entirely held by Finnish players. Ahead of Puljujärvi are HC Ajoie’s Kristian Tanus and HC Ambri-Piotta’s Roby Järventie, both of whom have tallied 5+5=10 points.

However, Puljujärvi’s efficiency has not propelled Servette to great heights. The team has won three out of six games, one of which was decided in a shootout. In that game, Puljujärvi stood out by scoring twice.

Last season, Puljujärvi finished third in the Swiss league’s scoring leaderboard. At that time, he recorded 19+33=52 points in 52 games.
