After almost two years away from the competitive ice, the injury-hampered forward made his return, with a new team. Ikonen was used sparingly, by European standards, on the fourth line. While he was rusty, he also created some good chances for his teammates, showcasing his vision and touch.
Joni Ikonen back on the ice for his first competitive game in almost two years time. Nice cross ice pass, then gets the puck along the boards to set up a high danger chance for a team mate.
Unsure if there is still a chance to reach the NHL, but good to see Ikonen play.
