Now it hit – Konsta Helenius immediately to the Lions’ top line!
In the Friday evening World Championship match, Finland faces Great Britain in a game starting at 21:20. The Lions head into the battle with four wins from four matches, while Britain has yet to score any points.
There is a welcome change in Finland’s lineup as Konsta Helenius, who arrived in Switzerland on Thursday, will play his first match in the World Championship.
Particular interest is drawn to the Lions’ top line, made up of NHL players, which looks really strong on paper. The line features Mikael Granlund, Aleksander Barkov, and Konsta Helenius.
Starting in goal for Finland is Joonas Korpisalo.
The match can be followed in Finland on Viaplay and MTV’s channels.
