Jokerit overpowers Dinamo Minsk
Jokerit withstood a Dinamo Minsk recovery before downing the Belarusians 5-2 in Helsinki.

But Dinamo rallied through Alexei Kalyuzhny and Ryan Vesce to make it a one-goal game early in the second and put Jokerit under some unexpected pressure.
The game remained in the balance until late on when Niko Kapanen scored off a Niklas Hagman pass to make the points safe for the Finns, Tomi Maki’s empty-netter wrapped up the victory.
