KalPa Kuopio beat Mikkelin Jukurit 4-0 in regulation, breaking open a scoreless game with a two-goal second period and adding two more in the third. The win was decided by KalPa's sustained push through the middle frames rather than any single flurry.
After a goalless first period, Konsta Kapanen opened the scoring at 25:00 with an assist from Cade Borchardt. Aleksi Klemetti doubled the lead at 33:00 off a Jaakko Rissanen feed, making it 2-0 through two periods. Elias Vilen scored at 46:00 with Klemetti assisting, and Kapanen added his second at 48:00 with Ville Ruotsalainen drawing the assist to close out the scoreline.
Kapanen was the standout with two goals, while Klemetti contributed a goal and an assist as KalPa's secondary scoring carried the night. The four-goal output, capped in a 2:46 span during the third period, gave Jukurit no path back in a clean regulation decision.
