Markus Nurmi (born 29 June 1998) is a Finnish professional ice hockey forward currently playing with Luleå Hockey in the SHL. He was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the sixth round, 163rd overall, in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career

[edit]

Nurmi played as a youth within HC TPS organization and made his Finnish Liiga debut with TPS during the 2015–16 season.[2]

Following his seventh season in the Liiga with TPS in 2021–22, Nurmi was signed as a free agent by the Nashville Predators to a one-year, entry-level contract on 10 June 2022.[3] After attending the Predators training camp, Nurmi was re-assigned to begin the 2022–23 season with American Hockey League affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals. In a top six forward role, Nurmi contributed with 12 goals and 24 points through 48 regular season games with the Admirals, unable to earn a recall to the Predators.

As an impending restricted free agent with the Predators, Nurmi opted to return to his original Finnish club, TPS, in agreeing to a three-year contract on 3 April 2023.[4]
