Artturi Lehkonen and Joel Kiviranta get the nod for Team Finland at the Olympics

Add another pair of Colorado Avalanche players that are headed to the 2026 Olympics. The roster for Team Finland was revealed Friday morning, with Artturi Lehkonen and Joel Kiviranta being named to the team.

Lehkonen has been a staple on the Avalanche’s top line alongside Nathan MacKinnon. He teams up extremely well with the Avs’ best player, having recorded 14 goals and 18 assists through just 39 games so far into the year. He is on pace for 29 goals and 37 assists this season. All of those stats would be a career high for the 30 year old Lehkonen.
