It doesn't take them long to cash in. From the top of the circle, Kontiola feeds JARKKO IMMONEN at the goal line, and with the right-handed shot he has the angle to beat Salak and it's 2-0. Power-play goal.
Assists: Petri Kontiola, Jere Karalahti.

What a great individual effort by JORI LEHTERA. He picked up the puck in the neutral zone and carried it across the line. The play didn't look so threatening but he beat Vitasek to the outside and then backhanded past Salak to open the scoring.
Assists: Juuso Hietanen, Petri Kontiola.
