Konsta Helenius ansluter till Finlands VM-trupp

Tjugoårige forwarden Konsta Helenius beger sig till Schweiz för att ansluta till Finlands trupp i ishockey-VM. Han ersätter lagkamraten Teuvo Teräväinen, som ådragit sig en skada, efter att Buffalo Sabres slagits ut ur Stanley Cup-slutspelet.

Finlands ishockeyförbund meddelade på tisdagen att Helenius flyger direkt från Buffalo för att möta laget i Zürich. Den unge forwarden har spelat i AHL under säsongen, där han noterades för 63 poäng på 63 matcher, samt medverkat i nio NHL-matcher i grundserien och fyra slutspelsmatcher för Sabres.
