HIFK-Saipa 10.10.1996

POOR PERFORMANCE - underestimating opponent almost cost the points

Bottom team Saipa didnīt inspire HIFK to any heroics. A boring contest that was goalless until the 35 minute mark. Finally HIFK collected the points with a couple of lucky bounces from (c) Mika Kortelainen, who never gave up. The last nail in the coffin came from Juri Kutznetsov who had a solid game.

Backup goalie, Jan Lundell, played well in his career 1st league game. Star of the game : Mika Kortelainen *** Jan Lundell **

#22 Mika Kortelainen
