HELSINKI -- The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 are still six months away, but Team Finland already has the event in sight.

"Let’s see how many (Dallas) Stars players will be named to their respective teams,” Stars forward Mikko Rantanen said on Monday. “Once we know the rosters, I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of Olympic talk in our room.”

Rantanen, along with Stars defensemen Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell , was named to Finland’s preliminary roster in June. Joining them were Aleksander Barkov of the Florida Panthers, Juuse Saros of the Nashville Predators and Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes.

"Great players all six of them," Finland coach Antti Pennanen said. "Excellent goalie, top NHL defensemen and forwards who are among the best in the world."
