The highly anticipated veteran forward of HPK, Anrei Hakulinen, will be sidelined due to injury.

HPK’s CEO Kaj Källarsson confirmed to MTV Sports that Hakulinen is expected to take months off.

– Unfortunately, we are talking more about months than weeks, Källarsson revealed to Maikkari.

Hakulinen has played in HPK’s first line during the preseason. He was injured last Thursday against the Swedish Växjö Lakers.

The league’s regular season starts next Tuesday. HPK will face TPS in their opening match.
