Pentti Alexander Lund (December 6, 1925 – April 16, 2013) was a Finnish Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played for the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers of the National Hockey League. Lund was often credited as being the first Finnish player in the NHL. Albert Pudas, however, played four games with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1926–27.
