According to Urheilucast, JYP received bad news from the sick bay.

In the HIFK match, Santeri Huovila, who was taken off the ice on a stretcher, is out for the season according to UC.

The star forward twisted his ankle badly in the second period, and the 22-year-old Huovila’s game was cut short.

Last season, Huovila had impressive stats of 5+37 in 33 games and was again on a good scoring pace, with 1+7 in six games.

JYP leads the league having won all six of its matches, but will now have to manage without its star player.

The team from Jyväskylä will play its next match next Friday, when the hurricane jerseys visit Hämeenlinna to face HPK.
