    Some nice culture againt at the end of the game. Eric Perrin and Jonne Virtanen who used to play in Jyväskylä got a standing ovation from the crowd.
     
    The game has ended and the result is 2-2. TPS made a good comeback in third period and scored two important goals. Those two migjht show up as a turning point for the whole matchpair.

    Greetings to you all! Game between JYP Jyväskylä and TPS Turku is about to start.
     
    It is JYP Jyväskylä and TPS Turku who will face eachother on tuesday in Jyväskylä. It is time to start the first playoff round of this years CHL. Both teams play in the Finnish Liiga so they are very familiar with eachother.

    JYP played in same group with Sheffield Steelers and Frölunda Gothenburg. JYP won both games against the brittish teams but Frölunda was better in both games.

    TPS was impressive in its own group with Dusseldorf EG and Black Wings Linz by losing only one game against Dusseldorf. TPS won it's own group with nine points.

    Most interesting detail in this pair is Eric Perrin. Perrin was JYP's captain for last three season but headed to Turku for this season. This is the first time that Perrin returns to his old hometown.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 17:30.
