Riemu handled S-Kiekko 4-1 on the road, building the win one period at a time rather than in any single burst. The visitors scored first, never trailed, and closed it out with a two-goal third.
It was 0-1 after twenty minutes and 0-2 after forty, Riemu banking a goal in each of the opening two periods while keeping S-Kiekko off the board. The hosts finally got one in the third, but Riemu answered twice in the same frame to make it 1-4 and remove any late doubt.
The number that frames the night is the shutout through two periods: S-Kiekko needed until the third to solve Riemu's goaltending, and by then they were chasing a two-goal deficit. Riemu's four goals came spread across all three periods, in regulation, with no overtime required.
