Seattle Kraken’s Oscar Fisker Molgaard Named to Denmark’s Olympic Team for 2026 Games

Oscar Fisker Molgaard Joins Denmark’s Olympic Roster

Oscar Fisker Molgaard, a promising player from the Seattle Kraken, has earned a spot on Denmark’s roster for the upcoming 2026 Olympics in Milan and Cortina. At just 20 years old, the forward is currently making waves in his debut season in the AHL with the Coachella Valley Firebirds, where he has managed an impressive tally of six goals alongside a total of 18 points over 28 games. Fisker Molgaard’s strong two-way performance has also led to his first 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 previously represented Denmark in the World Championship three times, where he registered two goals and tallied 11 points in 23 games. His international experience extends to the World Junior qualifying tournament, U-18 qualifiers, and participating in all three Olympic qualifier games last year, despite not scoring in those matches.

Denmark’s Olympic Squad

Denmark’s Olympic squad includes several notable NHL players, such as Nikolaj Ehlers of the Carolina Hurricanes and Oliver Bjorkstrand, who has played for both the Seattle Kraken and currently the Tampa Bay Lightning. While many consider Denmark a long shot for a medal at the Olympics, their notable upset against Canada at the 2025 World Championship could serve as a morale booster as they prepare for the games.
