Related Topics: Lukas Vejdemo

All is good on the European continent, as everyone has at least a point in this week’s report. Joni Ikonen recorded three assists over two competitions. Arvid Henrikson got one assist, and the same for Max Friberg. But it was Lukas Vejdemo who posted the standout performance at home against Växjö in the SHL.

Ikonen got to play a regular shift — while still being on the fourth line — against the Stavanger Oilers in Champions Hockey League action. His two assists came in the dying minutes of a 7-1 thrashing of the Norwegian team, and while not being scored in the more important parts of the game, they were important, being the first points for Ikonen at a pro level.
