Mikkelin Jukurit opened with two first-period goals and never looked back, rolling to a 4-0 regulation win over Vaasan Sport in Liiga. The home side controlled the game from the opening faceoff, establishing a lead that Sport could not dent.
Jukurit struck twice in the opening frame to take a 2-0 edge into the first intermission. The second period stayed scoreless as both teams tightened up, but Jukurit restored their two-goal cushion in the third with two more tallies, locking in the final 4-0 scoreline.
The clean sheet was the defining number: Jukurit limited Sport to nothing across all three periods, never allowing the game to become competitive after the early burst. It was a disciplined, efficient performance built on structure rather than individual heroics.
