Playing career
editOttawa Senators
editJärventie was drafted by the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL) with the 33rd overall pick in the second round of the 2020 NHL entry draft.[1] On 27 April 2021, Järventie was signed to a three-year, entry-level deal with the Senators.[2] Järventie was assigned to Ottawa's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators for the 2022–23 season. Early in the season, he suffered a significant knee injury that sidelined him for three months. He returned to Belleville's lineup in March.[3] Despite a strong 2023 training camp, on 8 October 2023, Järventie was sent to Belleville to start the 2023–24 season.[4] Järventie was recalled to Ottawa and made his NHL debut on 4 November 2023 against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Ottawa.[5] He played in seven games before being returned to Belleville on 26 November.[6] However, a recurring knee injury required surgery in late February, ending his season.[7]
Edmonton Oilers
editOn 15 July 2024, Järventie and a fourth-round pick for the 2025 NHL entry draft were traded to the Edmonton Oilers, in exchange for Xavier Bourgault and Jake Chiasson.[8] Further surgery on his knee during the offseason[7] forced him to miss the Oilers 2024 training camp.[9] He began the season on the Oilers' injured reserve (IR) list. He was activated off IR on 25 October and assigned to Edmonton's AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors.[10]
International career
editJärventie played for the Finnish junior team twice during the IIHF World Junior Championships, in 2021 and 2022. Järventie won the bronze medal with Finland in 2021, playing in six games.[11] In the 2022 championship, Järventie has a four-point game versus Germany in the quarterfinals.[12] Finland faced Canada in the final, but lost 3–2 in overtime in the final, winning the silver medal.[13]
