KeuPa HT handled Joensuun Kiekko-Pojat 7-3 in regulation, and the game was effectively over by the second intermission. Six unanswered goals across a 26-minute stretch turned a 1-1 game into a rout.
KeuPa opened at the five-minute mark, JoKP answered at 11, and then the first period broke open: two goals in the 19th minute made it 3-1 after 20. The second belonged entirely to the hosts — 4-1 at 33, 5-1 at 36, 6-1 at 37 — and the 3-0 middle frame was the turning point. JoKP got one back at 46, but KeuPa restored the five-goal margin a minute later at 47.
The number that matters is the period split: 3-1, 3-0, 1-2. KeuPa scored in every period and won the middle 20 outright; JoKP's only won frame came in the third, 2-1, with the outcome already settled.
