Short Preview

Both teams have shown mixed form recently, with Pelicans securing victory in 2 of their last 5 outings, mirroring Kärpat’s performance in the same span.
Pelicans have displayed a resilient offense, capitalizing on home ice advantages. The team’s tactical approach often leverages quick transitions and aggressive forechecking, which can unsettle opponents.
