The league returns from the national team break – big reinforcements for TPS and KalPa!
The league returns on Monday after the national team break, when TPS and KalPa face each other in Turku. Both teams are getting important names back in their lineup.
TPS will have their captain Niklas Friman back after a two-month absence. KalPa will see the return of star forward Juuso Mäenpää, who has been out for the last month, and Jaakko Rissanen, who missed the last game.
Friman managed to play only three games before his injury, with stats of 1+1. On Monday, he will play alongside Arttu Tuhkala in TPS’s third defensive pair.
Mäenpää and Rissanen have been placed directly into KalPa’s top line with Teemu Hartikainen. Despite their injuries, both have had a productive start to the season: Mäenpää has scored 2+7 points in 11 games, while Rissanen has 2+9 points in 13 games.
Missing from KalPa’s lineup is Cade Borchardt, who had to leave the previous game due to injury.
