KalPa cuts Ilves' Naisten Liiga quarterfinal lead to 2–1

KalPa pulled the Naisten Liiga quarterfinal series to 2–1 with a win in Kuopio this week, leaving Ilves under renewed pressure. The teams meet again on Monday in Kuopio; Ilves would host a deciding Game 5 in Tampere on Wednesday, April 8, and tickets are already on sale. They also meet at Nokia Arena on Friday — a win there would move Ilves closer to a semifinal berth. In junior action, Espoo levelled the U20 final series, while Ilves won a U20 match in overtime. Fans can bid on the club’s black game-worn jerseys when the auction opens on Tuesday, March 31.
