Kraken Representative Kaapo Kakko to Anchor Finland's Third Line at Olympics

Seattle Kraken representative Kaapo Kakko is slated to start the 2026 Men’s Winter Olympics Ice Hockey tournament on Finland's third line. He will be joined by Florida Panthers' Anton Lundell (center) and Eetu Luostarinen. Kakko and Lundell share a history, having played together on the Finnish U-18 team in 2018. This third line is anticipated to take on a crucial defensive shutdown role against opponents' top lines. Finland will begin its Olympic campaign on Wednesday against Slovakia, aiming for a medal.
