Ilves, who are on a four-game winning streak in the hockey league, initially had the job in Jyväskylä and a 1–0 away lead, until the JYP attacker Patrik Siikanen put his spoon in the pot and scored three goals in a row.
Matias Mäntykivin with the goal, Ilves was in command and was close to at least doubling his lead, but Siikanen’s sudden awakening in the second half of the opening set quickly changed the game’s setup.
JYP’s second string winger Siikanen leveled the scores to 1-1 with a control goal in 13:51, scored a 2-1 goal from a through drive in 15:09 and sealed his hat-trick at the beginning of the second set after scoring a two-on-one counterattack in 23:00.
Siikanen, 24, had scored a total of four goals in the 18 matches he played this season before Wednesday’s round. On the 19th of October, Siikanen did, however, punish SaiPa, which is now swinging at the top of the series, with a hat trick.
JYP wanted to get rid of the Ilves horror
JYP, which is second to last in the league, finally beat Ilves with a score of 6–2.
At the same time, the Jyväskylä team shook the creepy Ilves troll from its neck.
Before this, JYP had not received a single point from Ilves in more than two years. On the other hand, Ilves has scored points from 19 consecutive matches against JYP. Today, the pipe was also forgotten.
The last time the Central Finns beat Ilves in regular time was on December 20 in 2019.
Ilves is currently playing a four-game bull week, but has collected a handsome 26 points in the 12-match fitness scale – during this time, only SaiPa, who is looking for a sensational season, has been able to do better in the League.
