Lassila had a very impressive game, scoring twice and adding two assists for a total of four points in JYP’s 8-7 win over Ilves in the U16 league. He was playing as the top line center and was used in all situations by his coaches.

Lassila is rather small in stature, but he has excellent skating mechanics which allow him to create controlled zone exits and entries with ease. He has very good puck-handling skills and showed good patience and decision-making in all three zones. Lassila made good passes in the offensive zone and was used as a playmaker on the right half-wall on the power play. He has also shown that he has the ability to produce constantly, as he has been JYP’s best point-producer for most of the season.
