Jani Nyman – Ilves #33 (Liiga), Coachella Valley Firebirds #12 (AHL)
Has large size and a heavy shot. Can find soft space in the OZ to utilize the shot. Scores a lot of PP one-timers from the right circle. Is an awkward skater but can score off the rush as a trailer or net-driver.
2024-01-31 Liiga regular season: Makes a cross-ice pass in NZ on transition, and then drives the net for an easy tap-in goal.
2024-03-12 Liiga regular season: On PP, receives a cross-ice pass that gets deflected, so doesn’t get everything on the shot and instead just shovels the puck on net. Teammate retrieves the rebound and makes another cross-ice pass to Nyman, who hammers the one-timer home this time.
2024-04-14 AHL regular season: Wins the puck after OZ face-off to help the team keep possession. Battles in front of the net for position, and scores on a deflection for his first career AHL goal.
