Kärpät, one of the leading teams in the SM-Liiga, are having problems because of the first line attacker, Daniel Corso´s injury.

Yesterday Kärpät played against Ässät, who are currently on a 12th place in the SM-Liiga standings. Normally this would be an easy match up for Kärpät since they have an outstanding team but Ässät was dominating and almost won the game. Kärpät won 2-1 on ovetime but are having some difficulties that has to be improved if they want to win the SM-Liiga title.

It is not for sure how long Daniel Corso will be gone but hopefully for Kärpät, he will be back soon. Without him, Kärpät will have a hard time with their incoming games.

Two games ago, TPS was still within the 10 teams heading for the playoffs. Now they have fallen down to 11th place , and have to win some of the best teams in the league to get back within the top ten.

The next opponent TPS will meet is Blues who is on a 5th place in the league at the moment. After that the will meet Jokerit who is on a 3rd place and JYP who are the current leaders of the SM-Liiga.

TPS will have to play their absolute best to win these teams and get past Pelicans who is the last team to enter the playoffs at the moment.

Teams are fighting for a place in the playoffs

In about 3-4 weeks it will be settled which teams will go to the playoffs in the SM-Liiga.
Ässät is only 6 points behind TPS with 68 points and are fighting for a place in the playoffs. Yeasterday Ässät won 2-0 against Ilves which was a very inportant win for them.

They still have a chance but Lukko is also fighting for the same place as Ässät and have one point more than Ässät so its going to be a battle between these teams.

Lukko is at the moment playing against JYP and leading 3-1 with only 10 minutes left of the game. If they take this win home, they will have 72 points,only 2 points less than TPS and a place in the playoffs.
