Hurricanes vs Kraken in Finland: NHL's Global Series

0:00It's March 23rd, Durham News today starts now, AI-powered and ready. The Carolina Hurricanes are set to play two regular season games in Finland against the Seattle Kraken. The National Hockey League announced this week that the matchup is part of the 2026 global series in Helsinki. Those games happen on Thursday November 12th and Saturday November 14th at the Bolerina. It's a homecoming of sorts for the Hurricanes, who last played there back in 2010 against the Minnesota Wild, sweeping both games to open. That season. Fun fact, current star Sebastian Ajo watched from the stands as a 13-year-old fan. This marks the 50th year in a row and 13th overall that the league brings regular season action to Europe, with stops planned in Finland and Germany too. Games across the pond are in for a treat, as these teams bring the intensity overseas.
