The NHL's Global Series continues this week as the Carolina Hurricanes and Seattle Kraken meet for two games in Helsinki, Finland. The matchups will serve as a homecoming for several Finnish players on both rosters, headlined by Carolina's Sebastian Aho. The 29-year-old is in his 11th season with the Hurricanes and has represented Finland internationally since his teenage years, including a bronze-medal performance at the Milan Cortina Olympics. Aho's fellow Finnish teammates Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Juuso Valimaki will also return home, while Seattle's Finnish contingent features Kaapo Kakko, Jani Nyman and Ville Ottavainen. The atmosphere in Finland's capital is expected to be electric for these highly anticipated contests.
