Finnish hockey team picks Matinpalo for 2026 Olympics despite limited NHL play.
Nikolas Matinpalo, a defenseman for the Ottawa Senators, has earned a spot on Finland’s 2026 Winter Olympics roster despite playing only two NHL games this season and being frequently a healthy scratch.
Selected over New York Rangers’ Urho Vaakanainen, Matinpalo is expected to see ice time in Finland’s opening game against Slovakia.
Team Finland general manager Jere Lehtinen cited his size, defensive effort, work ethic, and experience from the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off as key factors in the decision.
