Michael Keränen looked like he had a bright future ahead of him with the Minnesota Wild, but that all came to an end after he decided to return back home after two years in North America.

The Stockholm, Sweden native is currently playing out the rest of the season with Genève-Servette HC of the National League to help them with their playoff run and he certainly came through for them on Monday night in the shootout.



The goalie thought he had the 28-year-old all figured out but the former Wild and Senators prospect pulled off a few nifty moves at the final second to put the puck in the back of the net to give his team the 2-1 advantage in the shootout.

Keränen spent most of the season playing with KooKoo Kuovola of the Finnish Elite League and led the team in scoring, despite missing 20 games due to an injury, with 16 goals and 22 assists for 38 points in 39 games. He spent most of his time with the Wild in the AHL, where he played 115 games with the Iowa Wild and recorded 18 goals and 42 assists for 60 points. However, he did get to suit up in one NHL game for the Wild before he was dealt to the Ottawa Senators, where he scored four goals and totaled seven points in his final 21 AHL games.
