Lukas Haudum continues to write his personal success story in Finland.

The Upper Austrian recorded two assists in TPS Turku's 3-4 shootout loss to Tappara Tampere. This marks the fourth consecutive game in which the 29-year-old has been involved in at least one goal, having collected eight points during this period.

TPS Squanders Triple Lead

In the 6th minute, the ÖEHV forward provided the assist for Wernblom's opening goal (6.). After Rasanen's equalizer (12.), Haudum set up Bryggman's 2-1 goal just before the end of the period (20.).

Tappara equalized in the 25th minute through Tuulola, but Bryggman completed his brace on the power play (34./PP). Just 41 seconds into the third period, Simontaival restored parity again (41./PP).

The game ultimately went to a penalty shootout, where Haudum, as TPS Turku's second shooter, missed his attempt. Since Rasanen scored and Bryggman did not, Tappara Tampere emerged victorious.

Second-Best Scorer in the Liiga

Haudum was on the ice for 21:01 minutes, more than any other forward on his team. He registered two shots on goal and won approximately 39 percent of his faceoffs.

With five goals and ten assists from eleven games, the player from Alkoven is, along with teammate Wernblom, the second-best scorer in the Liiga. Only Ilves forward Luke Henman has collected one more point.

TPS Turku is in eleventh place with 16 points; the teams in 15th to 17th place will be relegated from Finland's top league after the season.
