Ville-Vesa Vainiola is so great that the alphabetics will get a new letter to replace w: triple-v.
Scorer from a penalty shot is VILLE-VESSA VAINIOLA.
Mikkola passes puck and VILLE-VESA VAINIOLA breaks away. Great wrist shot through Kickert's legs! 2-1 KalPa. Shorthanded goal.
Assist: Niko Mikkola.
Nice pass from Lyytinen and JANNE KERANEN shoots a one-timer. KalPa is in the game, but they need a win in regulation. Power-play goal.
Assisted by: Joonas Lyytinen.
If Sopanen and Lyytinen would be replaced by Leskinen and Ruuskanen, KalPa's defence's quality wouldn't drop anywhere.
It´s clear that KalPa is trying to play more straightforward than last year. Evertyhing shows though that it doesn´t come from the backbone yet.
Oh no Kilpi, that one went in too easily.
Opener! JERRY POLLASTRONE found the way with a shot from the blue line. Assisted by Jamie Fraser, Taylor Vause.

"I haven’t really familiarised myself with their roster, but I think they will be a very experienced and hard checking team. I think that they don’t have as good movement as Skellefeå AIK had and maybe that’s our chance to make the difference," said Tommi Jokinen, who is looking forward to getting back on the ice in the CHL after four years away from Kalpa. "I believe that our game system is very good against this kind of team, because we are playing a different game than most of the teams in their own league. We need to remember to play to both ends of the rink and use our opportunities well."
"It's going to be a difficult point to get, KalPa are a very good team," said Capitals' Coach Serge Aubin. "Again though, my focus is only on us. We're going to do everything we can to get the point we need to reach the
