Kraken’s Oscar Fisker Molgaard Named to Denmark’s 2026 Olympic Hockey Roster

Seattle Kraken forward Oscar Fisker Molgaard has earned a spot on Team Denmark’s roster for the upcoming 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

Rookie Season Highlights

The 20-year-old is currently making waves in his rookie season in the AHL with the Coachella Valley Firebirds. In 28 games, he has showcased his offensive skills, contributing six goals and a total of 18 points. His impressive two-way play also led to a call-up to the NHL, where he participated in two games and recorded one assist.

International Experience

Fisker Molgaard is no stranger to international competition, having represented Denmark at the World Championship three times. Throughout his career, he has accumulated two goals and 11 points over 23 games. Additionally, he has participated in the World Junior qualifying tournament and the U-18 qualifiers, as well as all three Olympic qualifier games last year.

Denmark’s Olympic Outlook

Denmark’s roster features several notable NHL players, including Nikolaj Ehlers of the Carolina Hurricanes and Oliver Bjorkstrand, formerly of the Kraken and now with the Tampa Bay Lightning. While Denmark is considered a long shot for a medal, their recent upset victory over Canada at the 2025 World Championship could provide a morale boost as they head into the Olympics.
