New York Islanders prospect Otto Koivula has been out on loan with Finnish side HIFK for the better part of a month now. And while Koivula took a few games to get himself going, once he got off the blocks he’s been a force for HIFK.
Koivula made his debut for HIFK this season on October 13. In his first two games, he didn’t register a point or even a shot on goal.
