HIFK one game from the Finnish title
HIFK Helsinki beat Blues 5-3 in the third of the Finnish SM-Liiga finals and are now ahead 3-0. One win from the championship title.
| HIFK Helsinki | 5:3 | Espoo Blues |
The score was 2-1 for over 20 minutes. The important fourth goal was scored by HIFK's Toni Söderholm. With 10 minutes remaining of the game Arttu Luttinen made it 3-2 but HIFK replied with 4-2 (Martti Järventie) and 5-2 (Juha-Pekka Haataja).
Haataja was the man of the day with two goals: "A big reason why my game runs fine is that I get to be healthy. But it's no secret that I play with good players, so it is easy to manage".
Two minutes before the end Blues got a 5-3 goal. Once again scored by Arttu Luttinen. But they never got any closer and HIFK won to take a 3-0 lead of the series.
Game 4 is played on Monday in Espoo.
"The excitement and intensity escalate match by match. That's what you know before Monday," said HIFK's Head Coach Kari Jalonen.
