Link: Otto Kivenmäki nousee ykkösketjuunÄssät's Otto Kivenmäki will be on the top line in tomorrow's Ässät-TPS match. The forward was a 7th round pick by the Detroit Red Wings last summer.
Recently Kivenmäki has shown promise in the U20 league. In seven matches, the forward has scored 7 goals and 8 assists. Kivenmäki also played 17 games in the Liiga earlier this season.
- Five weeks ago, we held a development discussion with Kivenmäki and asked if he wants to play in the Liiga team. His answer was that he wanted to play big minutes in the U20 league.
- Three weeks ago, Otto said that he wanted to try to get back to the Liiga team. We worked together with him and team trainer Seppo Vihelä created a strength and nutrition program.
- Then we agreed with Otto that if he follows the programs and shows that he can play a strong two-way game in the U20 league, he will be given opportunities to play in the Liiga later in the spring.
- Now there has been clear improvements and Otto will get a chance to play in the Ässät Liiga team's top-6 and he will also get responsibility on the powerplay. Tomorrow against TPS I especially expect him to show a committment to the team game, said Ässät's head coach Pasi Kaukoranta.
Kivenmäki will be back with the Liiga team tomorrow, on the 1st line and powerplay. They are last in the league with no risk of relegation, so I guess that lets them give opportunities like this. Here's a translation of the article on their website:

2 More Assists for McIsaac tonight... Now up to 30 Points in 30 Games
3rd in Defencemen points per game...
Undrafted overager D'Astous leading the defenceman scoring and McIsaac's draft-classmate Nicolas Beaudin (CHI #27 overall) at second.
When adjusting Beaudin's high-scoring Drummondville numbers to less-scoring McIsaac's Halifax numbers, they are pretty even.
Imo, McIsaac is doing pretty well for a projected shut-down defenceman, who shouldn't be a point-scorer.
Man Alec is having a pretty darn good year... Up to 24 Points in 42 Games... Had 25 Points in 67 Games last year for London.2 more assists for Regula so far tonight
Tomorrow, Veleno's team plays the other juggernaut in his conference - the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. Should be an interesting one to keep an eye on.
7:30What time?
Too lazy to look it up
4 shots, -1 and 16:57 ice time for Otto.Kivenmäki will be back with the Liiga team tomorrow, on the 1st line and powerplay.
I have a feeling Veleno's not scoring 20 goals in the AHL next season.Z better pick it up or Big Joe might pass him as top prospect ha
Maybe, but it seems like he is improved a ton since last year especially offensively... We'll seeI have a feeling Veleno's not scoring 20 goals in the AHL next season.
