S-Kiekko came to the arena and took all three points from Muik Hockey, 3:5 on 2026-10-10 in the Suomi-sarja. Both sides had played seven games with four wins and three losses each, sitting at 8th and 6th place respectively. The visitors finished with a lead they never let slip.
They came in off a 1:3 defeat to Virkky on 3 October, but the loss did not travel to make up the numbers. Muik Hockey had been riding a wave — 2:1 against RaahK the week before, 5:3 with JHT, and 6:0 against Virkky in between. To be fair, that run made the visitors look fragile on paper.
And here's the thing: Muik's recent results suggested they would control the tempo. Instead, S-Kiekko's attackers found space where the hosts expected pressure. The old head settled them down after an early setback, and they pinned them back with relentless shifts. By then, the scoreboard had turned.
Both teams had kept three clean sheets on the spin in their first five games, but this match decided itself in the final period. Muik pulled one back late, but S-Kiekko had nothing to do all evening once they took the lead. One mistake ends it, and the hosts made theirs.
The result keeps both sides within touching distance of the playoff places. Muik remain 8th with 0 points from seven games, while S-Kiekko sit 6th also on 0 points. The line has barely moved in the table, but the confidence has shifted.
