Begin of game

Today is captain´s night. There are 18 former Jokerit team captains today at the game. Some respect to them all.

Salavat Julajev (I may also write Ufa, since it is shorter and faster to write) has many players who are familiar to Jokerit fans. Some Finnish players and also some who have played for Jokerit earlier. Omark was part of the famous LOKOMO-line on first (or was it second?) KHL season. Others were Petr Koukal and Steve Moses. Welcome back to Hartwall Arena Linus.

Starting lineups:

Salavat Julajev: GK Scrivens, LD Loginov, RD Larsen, LW Omark, C Kemppainen, RW Hartikainen

Jokerit: GK Zapolski, LD Lepistö, RD Lundin, LW Huhtala, C Regin, LW Palola

Beutuful autumn weather outside and Jokerit meets Salavat Julajev from Ufa on this Sunday afternoon game. Jokerit has won 12 games in a row, let"s see if this continues.
