Hello Finland, and hockey fans in Scandinavia and Latvia!
The Winnipeg Jets and Florida Panthers begin their home and home series where neither team is at home. Unless you’re Finnish players Juho Lammikko, Aleksander Barkov, or the Winnipeg Jets’ own Patrik Laine. None of those three are actually from Helsinki, where today’s game is being played, but there will still be plenty of friends and family cheering them on.
