The second round of the ice hockey NHL booking event was called on Saturday evening Finnish time. The Seattle Kraken booked Finnish forward Julius Miettinen with number 40.
A total of three Finns were booked in the second round. Julius Miettinen in addition, the New York Islanders shouted JYP defenseman Jesse Pulkkinen with number 54 and the Edmonton Oilers, who narrowly lost the Stanley Cup final series, booked the second round with the last booking shift (64) HIFK guard Eemil Vinnin.
