Seattle Kraken forward Jagger Firkus was set to make his NHL debut Saturday against Carolina in the second game of the Global Series in Helsinki, coach Lane Lambert said.

Firkus, Seattle’s second-round pick in 2022, had four goals and eight assists in 12 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds this season. He led the Western Hockey League with 126 points for Moose Jaw in 2023-24 before turning pro. Seattle lost the first game in Finland 4-1 on Thursday. The Kraken’s projected lineup placed Firkus alongside Chandler Stephenson and Frederick Gaudreau.
