Hockey Tappara Stretches Home Series in League – TPS Covered in Pelicans Overtime

Winger Petteri Puhakka became Tappara’s hero for the second time in three days, when KooKoo crashed in Tampere on Thursday 4–2.

Puhakka, who immersed the Aces in his winning goal on Tuesday, took the hosts to a 2-1 lead with a penalty shot and served a great pass Otto Rauhalan 3 to 2 wins undercutting. At the same time, the captain Tappara hit his fourth underpower goal of the season.

“I knew I was ready, but I was a little hesitant to shoot the penalties. A lot of them will be practiced,” said Puhakka, who scored his ninth goal this season.

Tappara, the third in the league who played the best underpower of the league this season, had to surrender once with underpower, but struck back with two hits undercompletely.

“Underpower goals came from our personal mistakes. It certainly starts from the inside of the head (when it happens twice in the same game). With force majeure, you should do more than five against five,” KooKoon made a 2-2 draw. Kim Strömberg said.

The hosts won for the eighth time in a row on their home ice, while KooKoo, who is struggling for the playoffs, was losing to the last six away matches.

Pelicans and TPS offered a fast – paced evening in Lahti on Thursday. The teams are already battling for very important league points at this point, although there are still plenty of games ahead.

The small-scale struggle was only resolved in overtime, when the golden helmet of the people of Turku Juuso Pärssinen scored a lucky 2-1 win.

At the same time, Pärssinen cut his goal-free tube of as many as 16 matches. It was also close that Persian did not become an anti-hero. At the beginning of overtime, Pärssinen took a stupid offensive head to the ice. The closest of the ensuing superiority came Iikka Kangasniemiwhich shook the disc to the grid.

“Yes, the small miniplayoffs are already underway here. Fortunately, we were able to grab two points. There may be very important surfaces for the future,” Pärssinen said.

The Pelicans lost their winning streak to an inferior weak superiority game. Returnee Jesse Saarinen manasi inefficiency.

“It was nice to play, and it was even harder to play in front of the audience. We have to focus on superiority, because important matches are solved in special situations,” Saarinen, 36, who has improved his condition on the beautiful ski slopes in Lahti, emphasized.
