Joel Kiviranta of the lower fields scored two goals for Colorado. Brandon Hagel’s great performance wasn’t even enough for a club record.
In the NHL, a less powerful hitter Joel Kiviranta emerged strongly when Colorado beat Seattle 3–2 in the night round in the away bowl. The Finnish striker of the lower courts scored two goals for his team.
The Finn scored his second goal of the season at the end of the first period. In the second set, he guided the star pack Cale Makarin shot the puck into the goal.
Kiviranta is best remembered in the NHL for his hat trick in the 2020 playoffs. At that time, Kiviranta, who played for Dallas, just chastised his current team, Colorado.
Kiviranta has scored three goals in seven games this season. He has played in the NHL in a total of 225 regular season games, where he has produced 22+18 assists.
In the round of 16 matches, the visible roles were played by Finns who are usually not real scorers. Another such name was that of the New York Rangers Kaapo Kakko, which encouraged handsome 1+2 performances against Montreal. The Rangers beat Montreal 7-2.
Often played a key role Sebastian Aho on the other hand, became the decider when Carolina came to get a 3–2 away win from Edmonton. Aho scored the overtime goal, and he also had an assist on the Hurricanes’ opening goal.
Tampan Brandon Hagel on the other hand, responded with a giant round for a quick hat trick. Hagel needed six minutes and 26 seconds for the hat trick in the second period against the New Jersey Devils.
However, it’s not about a club record, because Brayden Point scored three goals in 91 seconds six years ago.
