Ilves loan Swedish forward Albin Eriksson, 21, from Ässät for the next five games. Forward Tomi Iso-Mustajärvi, 29, joins Ilves from KOOVEE on an open-ended contract.
Forward Albin Eriksson (195 cm / 95 kg / right) has scored nine points (4 goals, 5 assists) in 27 Liiga games for Ässät this season. Ilves academy product Tomi Iso-Mustajärvi (188 cm / 89 kg / left) had five goals and two assists in 11 Mestis games for KOOVEE this season.
Sport director Timo Koskela says Ilves will continue looking for loan players.
– Because of our numerous absences, we need loan players for our game on Saturday. We want to thank Ässät and KOOVEE for the cooperation and will continue looking for loan players in order to be as competitive as possible against Jukurit, says Koskela.
