    That's all for today from Oulu. Thank you for following us. Have a nice evening. (22:17:24)
     
    Lauri Marjamäki (Kärpät Oulu, Head coach): "We prepared for the game well and started the match well. We took couple of stupid penalties which we cannot afford in games like these. The third period was bummer for us. We had a chance to make it 4-0 but we could not do it. After that Capitals came and scored."
     
    Tom Pokel (Vienna Capitals, Head coach): "We did not play our best game but we are actually very happy with the result. We did not have the jump we were hoping for. The first two periods Kärpät was the better team. We played a good third period which gives us more chance for victory."
