Tampereen Ilves beat Mikkelin Jukurit 3-2 in regulation, flipping a one-goal deficit with two third-period goals. The home side scored twice in the final frame after being outscored 2-0 in the second.
Lukas Jasek opened it at 19 with a Luke Henman feed for a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Jukurit answered through Aaro Chrons at 28 and Connor Ford at 32 to lead 1-2 into the break, before Austin Strand tied it at 44 off Otto Latvala and Henman finished it unassisted at 50.
Henman was the difference on the scoresheet: an assist on the opener and the unassisted 3-2 winner. Ilves' 2-0 third period was the only frame either side controlled outright in the closing stages.
