1/15 Recap: Armia strikes; Makarov falls in shootout
Joel Armia scored a goal and an assist Tuesday as Assat overcame a late two-goal deficit but fell in overtime to Tappara 5-4. After a wrap-around attempt led to an assist in the opening minute of the third, Armia converted a long stretch pass into his 11th goal of the year to knot the game 4-4 with just under two minutes to play in regulation. Currently on the outside of the SM-Liiga playoff picture, Assat returns to work Friday versus Espoo.
