I had forgotten he was still playing in Europe. Good for him that he gets to finish with Jokerit. Kinda wish he could have played with his brother in Detroit that one year he was in the organization.

Damn, I didn’t realize he’d made it into the Triple Gold Club in 2022. Currently the only Finn in the group, and the 4th player to get in with the 2008 Wings team.
#14 in points for Finnish born NHL players. Captained the Finns to gold in the Olypmics and WC in 2022. That’s a hell of a career.

Good luck to him. Jokerit need all the help they can get since the KHL fiasco
