Mikael Granlund breaks free – The Lions put together a fierce top line!
In the fourth match of the MM preliminary series, the Lions face Latvia on Thursday in Zurich. The game starts at 17:20, and it can be followed live on Viaplay and MTV.
Finland enters the match in a strong position, as the team has won all three of its first matches in the tournament. Latvia has played the same number of matches, winning one and losing two.
Changes have been made to the Lions’ lineup with the arrival of Mikael Granlund. Granlund moves straight into the first line alongside Aleksander Barkov on the left wing, and the third forward in the line is the red-hot Lenni Hämeenaho.
Starting in goal is Justus Annunen, who played a strong game against the United States.
