Playing career

Nuutinen began her NCAA Division I career in 2016–17, playing her freshman season with the North Dakota Fighting Hawks women's ice hockey program of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) conference. Forced to transfer after the University of North Dakota (UND) ended its women's ice hockey program, she joined the Mercyhurst Lakers women's ice hockey program of the College Hockey America (CHA) conference prior to her sophomore season.[1]

International play

Nuutinen was selected for the Finland women's national ice hockey team in the 2014 Winter Olympics. She was the youngest player on the team. She played in all six games, scoring one goal.[2] In 2018, she also appeared in all six games notching one goal and one assist.

Nuutinen made three appearances for the Finland women's national under-18 ice hockey team, at the IIHF World Women's U18 Championships, with the first in 2012.[3][4][5] In 2013, she was named to the media all-star team as one of the top forwards in the tournament.[6]

Between Olympic appearances, Nuutinen has represented Finland in IIHF play as part of the national team, earning World Championship bronze medals in 2015 and 2017.
