JYP took a hard hit before the playoffs of the league, as star defenseman Sami Vatanen is missing from the lineup.
Vatanen has been the cornerstone of JYP’s defense all season, a key figure in the power play, and one of the team’s most important players. He played against KalPa on March 14, but was sidelined for the final game of the regular season and is not participating at the start of the playoffs.
The situation is further complicated by the absence of forward Leevi Tukiaisen. The 26-year-old winger scored an impressive 29 goals and 44 points in 40 regular season games.
The match between JYP and Pelicans starts at 18:30.
Pleijareiden ensimmäiseen peliin lähdetään näillä ketjuilla!
