KalPa’s struggles continue. The team got a win, against Joonas Nättinen’s JYP, but also lost 5-1 to HPK.
Being stranded at the bottom of the table does not really help the progress of Joni Ikonen. It is positive that his time on ice is staying around the 10-minute mark, and that he is solid as the centre on the fourth line. The negative bit is that it is the first line’s time that gets cut when KalPa is in trouble but Ikonen is not lifted up to be part of another line.
KalPa plays three important games this week: HIFK on Wednesday, Ilves on Friday, and Jukurit on Saturday.
