European Prospect Report: Jesse Ylönen has two goals, one assist in last two games

Two goals and an assist, along with playing almost 20 minutes a game, was Ylönen’s stat line. There is no doubt that the Finnish triggerman is the European player of the week. Even if the first game was a disaster for Ylönen and his team, where the game took the form of a boxing bout, and was lost 7-2, in the other two games the team from Lahti came out swinging, winning 3-0 away to HIFK and 4-3 at home versus KalPa.

Against HIFK, it was Ylönen who broke the spirit of the team from the capital, joining the rush with Hannes Björninen.
