In Finland’s Liiga, KooKoo blew out Aces by a 6-1 count in the last game played before the league will take a break due to the effects of covid-19. Games scheduled between December 3 and December 19 have been postponed. The league’s website currently shows play resuming on December 26. The postponement directly affects Panthers players and prospects Aleksi Saarela (Lukko), Anton Lundell (HIFK), Henrik Borgstrom (HIFK), Sanntu Kinnunen (Tappara) and Kasper Puutio (a part-time player with Karpat).
