IHM Discussion
Ässät face a short-term change in their forward group with Arttu Alasiurua sidelined for 3-5 weeks. The forward has opened the Liiga season with one goal and one assist in three appearances, so his absence removes an early contributor from the available options.
Peter Tiivola’s return after ten days away gives Ässät another forward for the line-up. He has one assist in two games this season and returns after the injury he suffered against Ilves in the club’s second game of the campaign.
