Kaapo Kakko expected to play Saturday as Finland faces off against Sweden at the Montreal Bell Centre.

Montréal, Québec - Seattle Kraken fans hoping to see Kaapo Kakko in Thursday night's 4 Nations lineup for the Finland vs United States game were left disappointed as the 6'1 Turku, FIN native was listed as a healthy scratch.

The 32 Bar & Grille at the Kraken Community Iceplex held a watch party in celebration of Kakko's participation in the best on best tournament which runs until February 20th. Kakko seemed to approve of the 32's version of a Finnish favorite, Salmon soup.

Finland's next match is scheduled for Saturday, February 15th vs. Sweden, puck drop is at 1 p.m with broadcasts on ET; ABC, ESPN+
