With Lukas Vejdemo out because of illness/injury and Arvid Henrikson playing in the AIK U20 team, it was up to the veterans Joonas Nättinen and Magnus Nygren to supply the action.
Joonas Nättinen, JYP, Finland
On Friday versus HIFK, Nättinen recorded an assist on the first goal for JYP and the game went to overtime due to a late equalizer. In the extra frame, HIFK proved to be stronger as they scored a little more than two minutes in.
Sunday’s game between JYP and Jukerit (where Joonas’ cousin, Topi, plays) also went beyond regulation, this time going to a penalty shootout.
