Even with less than a month left to save the season, Lauri Korpikoski is staying optimistic.

"I've always been confident we’re going to play this year," Korpikoski said. "It’s coming down to the last weeks here, so hopefully we can get something done." Before the lockout began, he was set to earn $1,850,000 this season. He's projected to be a restricted free agent this summer.

Lauri Korpikoski has reportedly signed on to play with TPS Turku for an additional six games.

It's easy to see why, as he has registered four goals and 10 points in only five SM-liiga contests. Korpikoski's offensive outburst overseas could end up leading to more responsibilities with Phoenix when the lockout is over, but we won't know for sure until an abbreviated camp begins.

His three-point performance gives him nine points in four outings overseas. Korpikoski had 17 goals and 37 points in 82 games with the Coyotes last season, so playing back at home appears to have lit a fire under his step.
