Teuvo Henri Matias Teräväinen (born 11 September 1994) is a Finnish professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, 18th overall, of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks after playing several seasons with the Jokerit organization in Finland. Also being drafted by the KHL's Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the 2011 KHL Junior Draft, he is known for his offensive abilities and play-making skills.
In 2015, Teräväinen won a Stanley Cup as a member of the Blackhawks.
A product of Jokerit's youth system, Teräväinen made his SM-liiga debut on 18 October 2011, at the age of 17. He quickly established his place in the first team and played 40 games en route to winning the Jarmo Wasama memorial trophy for rookie of the year. During the season, he then entered the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and was ranked as the second best skater out of Europe by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau. He was ultimately selected in the first round, 18th overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks.
In his second season in the SM-liiga, Teräväinen played 44 games while scoring 31 points. In the following August, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blackhawks. After signing the contract, Teräväinen participated in Blackhawks' training camp, but returned to Jokerit for the 2013–14 season.
