The Danish centre struggled to start the 2023-24 season but turned it around and the Kraken rewarded him by signing him to a three-year, entry-level contract. Fisker Molgaard was part of Denmark's 2024 World Championship roster and was also a part of the team that recently qualified for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

The injury news is upsetting for him and the Kraken as he has quickly risen up the Kraken's prospect rankings. His smooth skating and high hockey IQ have made him a reliable 200-foot player. The 2023 second-round pick was looking to add more elements to his offensive game this season but will have to put it on hold for the next two months.
