The Kraken traveled to Helsinki for the 2026 NHL Global Series for Finland. Seattle will face the defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes at Veikkaus Arena on Thursday (12 p.m. ET; HHN, Prime Video, CARNHL, KONG, NHLN, SN+, TVAS) and Saturday (1 p.m. ET; HHN, Prime Video, CARNHL, KONG, KINGN, NH1).
“It’s a great opportunity for me,” Nyman said. “I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to do it again, so it’s a good opportunity for me and I’m so excited.”
It seems like it’s only a matter of time before Nyman makes it to Kraken. Selected by Seattle in the second round (No. 49) of the 2022 NHL Draft, Nyman has size (6-foot-4, 212 pounds) and scoring ability. He had 21 goals in 39 games for Coachella Valley last season, with 28 goals in 58 AHL games in 2024-25.
Jani, he is a goal scorer,” said “Kraken” coach Lane Lambert. “He scores at the American League level. We look forward to him scoring consistently at the National Hockey League level.”
