SaiPa wins again in the Pitsiturnaus
The 2025–26 Finnish ice hockey season kicked off with the traditional Pitsiturnaus in Rauma Read more»
With three powerplay goals, one in each period, Finland beat Russia 3-1 in Brno.
On paper Russia should have the better team with start such as Kucherov, Malkin and Ovechkin but thanks to a strong Finnish powerplay and a weak Russian team effort Finland won today's EHT game in Brno.
With a lot of luck Finland took the lead after five minutes. Harri Pesonen's shot was redirected by Russian defender Dinar Khafizulin and left Russian goalie Alexander Georgiev without a chance. The 2-0 goal was scored from the blueline by Mikko Lehtinen in the middle of the second period. The third Finnish goal was also a powerplay goal from the blueline when Oliver Kaski beat Georgiev for 3-0.
When Russia had pulled Georgiev Alexander Ovschkin scored the only Russian goal of the day at 59:09.
Finland played well today while the Russian coach Ilya Vorobyov has a lot of work to do before the World Championship starts in Slovakia in six days.
