Hockey|Niko Hovinen played a clean sheet in his return match.
Three SaiPa and HIFK, who were on a losing streak in the match, met on Saturday at Kisapuisto in Lappeenranta. In the end, HIFK got some relief from their misery in front of 4,020 spectators with goals 2–0.
The home team had a rest advantage in the match, as HIFK played against Kärppi on Friday. Especially in the opening set, SaiPa really tested the red shirts, playing three times with superiority, but the Lappeenranta team’s ineffective forced play and HIFK’s Alivoima goalkeeper Niko Hovinen managed to withstand the pressure.
