Raised by Jokipoikien in Joensuu, Palmu has also played in the AHL, JYP, the German league and the Swedish league in his career.
Striker Petrus Palmu moves in the ice hockey league from Turku Palloseura to Helsinki IFK’s shirt.
HIFK said on its website that it had signed a contract with the 27-year-old winger for the rest of the season.
Palmu played in Mikkeli Jukurei in the 2021–2022 cannon season and finished second in the regular season points market. At that time, Palmu forged 26+33=59 power points in 59 matches, but the attacker’s last seasons have been difficult.
Palmu scored 25 power points in TPS last season, and this season he has scored 11 points (3+8) in 22 matches.
– This happened quickly. It’s great that there was no break in everyday life, Palmu described his quick club transfer in the press release.
HIFK’s injury situation is currently challenging, as among the team’s attackers, among others Juhani Jasu, Kristian Vesalainen and Joonas Rask are sidelined longer than the lineup.
HIFK will face KalPa on their home field on Friday. On Saturday, the team travels to Palmu’s former team TPS as a guest.
