Kapanen played two games this week, and managed to get two points. His first Liiga goal came on a two-on-zero breakaway, and he was clinical as he shot the puck over the goalie’s pad but under the glove.
Even if KalPa was totally outplayed by Ilves (where Joni Ikonen plays), Kapanen got an assist in the 5-2 loss as well. The play from the fourth line was good, even if the backhand is lucky to get a bounce and go in.
The two points from Kapanen should bode well for his confidence going forward.
