Teravainen, 29, set a new career-high in goals during the 2023-24 season and played a key top-six role with the Carolina Hurricanes. In 76 games during the regular season, Teravainen registered 53 points (25 goals, 28 assists), ten penalty minutes and was a plus-15. The Helsinki native also recorded six points in 11 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
