4/17 Recap: Armia gets a helper as Aces even series

Joel Armia recorded an assist Wednesday as Assat Pori evened the SM-Liiga championship series at one game each with a 5-1 victory over Tappara Tampere. The 6-foot-3 striker's secondary helper on a late power play gives him seven points (3+4) through 12 playoff outings. Armia's Aces will look to keep the momentum going when the series resumes Friday in Tampere.
