Seattle Kraken arrive in Finland for NHL Global Series

The Seattle Kraken have arrived in Helsinki, Finland, ahead of the 2026 NHL Global Series. The team is scheduled to face the Carolina Hurricanes in two games starting Thursday.

Players, including captain Jordan Eberle and defender Brandon Montour, noted that the trip provides a rare opportunity for team bonding. Unlike their recent extended road trip through multiple cities, the stay in Helsinki allows the roster to remain in one location for a week. Activities planned for the group include traditional Finnish experiences such as saunas and local cuisine.
