In this quiz, you can think about which all Finnish NHL players were named to the starting line-up of the season.
The starting line-ups are ceremoniously presented at the teams’ home opener. PDO
At the beginning of the NHL season, each team lists the so-called opening night lineup, which shows who has earned their place in the NHL lineup after the training season.
This fall, a total of 39 Finnish names made it to the opening night line-up. Five more regular NHL faces were added to the list, who started the season on the injured list, but are not officially part of the starting lineup.
Can you name all these Finnish players?
A place in the starting line-up of the taala league does not always guarantee playing minutes. This has already happened to a few Finns who were soon sent to the farm when the starting lineups were announced. For example, one Finnish keeper got his starting passes before he had time to play even a minute in goal.
