The Pittsburgh Penguins already boast one Finnish blue-liner, and now it appears they're adding another.
Juuso Riikola has agreed to terms with the club, sources told TSN's Darren Dreger on Thursday.
The 24-year-old posted 24 points in 59 games with KalPa in the Finland-based Liga this season, his sixth with the team.
Riikola also represented his homeland at the ongoing World Championship, chipping in a pair of assists in eight contests before Finland was eliminated in a surprising quarterfinal loss to Switzerland on Thursday.
If he cracks the NHL club, he'll join Olli Maatta, the 23-year-old Finn who's been a fixture on the Penguins' back end - despite several health setbacks - for about the last five years.
