Rasmus Rissanen

Rissanen made his NHL debut in March of last season, appearing in six games for the Hurricanes before an MCL injury knocked him out for the remainder of the season. With a full offseason to recover, the 23-year-old is reported to be back to full health and was inked to a one-year, two-way contract with the ‘Canes in July. Rissanen is expected to challenge for a regular role on the Hurricanes' blue line during training camp, and will battle the likes of fellow young blueliners Michal Jordan, Ryan Murphy, Noah Hanifin, and Haydn Fleury for a spot on the Canes’ third defensive pairing.
