The Carolina Hurricanes left for Helsinki Sunday night, less than 24 hours after Saturday's game. They arrived in Finland & immediately got to work at "The Cave".

For some, this is a new experience. For others, it's a homecoming.

Nikolaj Ehlers said today's win was "absolutely special."

“Even Juice getting one — that’s what you want. You obviously want to get the two points, but seeing them score makes it a little more special. We’re happy we were able to get the win for those guys today.”

The 15-3-2 @Canes have the most wins by a reigning #StanleyCup champion in nearly a century (tied) and remain perfect all-time in games played outside North America after Europeans accounted for all their goals in the #NHLGlobalSeries opener.

The Finns and Fly were on fire

Seabass, you're a star

Soaking it all in

European players accounted for all four #Canes goals today – the most combined goals scored by European players for one team in a game played outside of North America.

"Let's go, Fishy" 🥹

[Walt Ruff @WaltRuff]

Jesperi Kotkaniemi had a huge smile on his face post-game and called it "surreal" seeing his family and friends in the stands.

“It was awesome... I got pretty excited hearing Fishy in the starting lineup too. That’s a pretty cool moment... It was just a great night.”
