Carolina, Seattle to Play Two Regular-Season Games at Veikkaus Arena, Nov. 12 and 14.

Two of the Hurricanes’ top forwards will be returning to their homeland for the 2026 NHL Global Series Finland, as current team point and assist leader Sebastian Aho (25-47—72 in 70 GP) hails from Rauma and fellow center Jesperi Kotkaniemi was born in Pori. The Kraken roster also features a pair of Finnish natives in its forward group, in Eeli Tolvanen (born in Vihti), who skated in a total of 74 games for the Helsinki-based KHL club Jokerit, whose home ice is Veikkaus Arena, during the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons, and Kaapo Kakko (born in Turku). Team rosters are subject to change.

The 2026 NHL Global Series Finland games will be the first regular-season action outside North America for the Kraken, as they become the 27th active franchise to play in such games. The Hurricanes will be making their second trip outside North America, and to Finland, for regular-season play.

The game on Thursday, November 12th is a home game for the Seattle Kraken.
