The season is winding down for the European prospects as their teams are getting knocked out of the playoffs, but Lukas Vejdemo finished off his year with a bang.
JYP dismissed SaiPa in six games to make the semi-finals of the Liiga playoffs. The team will face the IFK Helsingfors in the next round. It will be a tough matchup as HIFK won the regular-season title, but Nättinen can take heart that they didn't really impress in their quarter-final win.
Nättinen hasn't been receiving an offensive role during the playoffs. I caught Sunday's game and he was played more in a shutdown capacity; something that his stats show.
