Last Saturday, Oliver Kapanen scared many people by hitting his head heavily on the ice during a game with his team.
Fortunately, he felt good in the following days and ultimately did not miss any matches. On Thursday, he scored and earlier in the day, he collected an assist.
Here he is at 18 points in 19 games since his return to Sweden.
Obviously, the Finn didn’t do well in Montreal, but he is still young and has time to improve.
You have to be patient with him and maybe regaining his confidence with Timra IK was the solution. His last NHL game was on November 5. Kasperi’s cousin is doing well in Europe and the CH has been excellent for a few weeks: the two are not missing each other for the moment, therefore.
Too bad he couldn’t play with the Rocket, because it would have greatly helped him in his playoff run and it would have been optimal for the development of the 21-year-old, but oh well. The regulations, however bizarre they may be, are there to be respected.
All this to say that the organization chart of the team’s hopes, we must not forget Kapanen. There are perhaps Ivan Demidov, David Reinbacher, Michael Hage and Jacob Fowler who make us dream, the fact remains that the Finn could have a greatly important role in the future.
A Jake Evans 2.0, that’s what we need. He and Owen Beck will have a similar role on a bottom-6.
