Some New York Rangers prospect were in action as the Finnish Liiga kicked off its season
The Finnish Liiga began play on Friday with two New York Rangers prospects in action. One player, Lauri Pajuniemi, caught the attention of Blueshirts management with a breakout season last year and the hope is that he will continue to show he can be an offensive force.
Pajuniemi plays for TPS Turku, Kaapo Kakko’s former Liiga team.
