|---|---|---|
| July 11, 2024 | Koivula signed a two-year contract with the Vaxjo Lakers of the SHL on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. - A fourth-round pick in 2016, Koivula ended up playing in 28 games over parts of three seasons with the Islanders. He managed just four assists, and after spending all of 2023-24 with AHL Bridgeport, the 25-year-old will try his luck in Europe. He did not accrue enough service time with the Islanders for them to retain his rights, so he is considered a Group 6 unrestricted free agent should he make his way back to North America in the future. | None |
| Oct. 6, 2023 | The Islanders placed Koivula on waivers Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Koivula recorded 12 goals, 25 points and 37 PIM in 46 AHL contests with Bridgeport last season. The 25-year-old forward also has four assists in 28 career NHL games. He'll likely start the campaign with Bridgeport unless he's selected off waivers. | None |
| March 20, 2023 | Koivula (lower body) was loaned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday. - Koivula sat out four games with a lower-body injury prior to being demoted. He is presumably healthy again and will get some playing time in the minors. Koivula has two assists, five shots on goal, four blocks and six hits in eight NHL outings this season. | None |
| March 18, 2023 | Koivula (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Sharks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Koivula can be considered out indefinitely until he returns to practice, as this is his fourth straight absence and the Islanders don't often provide injury updates. Casey Cizikas will continue to center the fourth line while Koivula is out. | None |
| March 15, 2023 | Koivula (lower body) isn't available for Wednesday's contest versus Anaheim, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Koivula is set to miss his third straight game. He has two assists in eight contests this season. The 24-year-old is averaging just 6:52 of ice time in 2022-23 and might not draw back into the lineup when he is healthy. | None |
| March 14, 2023 | Koivula (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Kings, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Koivula was injured Thursday versus the Penguins and this will be his second straight absence. There's no guarantee the 24-year-old will get back in the lineup even after he's cleared to play. | None |
| March 11, 2023 | Koivula (lower body) is considered day-to-day after apparently sustaining a lower-body injury Thursday against the Penguins, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Koivula was sent down in a paper transaction after Thursday's game, so he likely wouldn't have been in the lineup Saturday against Washington anyway. Cal Clutterbuck (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup, taking Koivula's bottom-six spot. The 24-year-old Koivula has two assists in eight NHL contests this season. | None |
| March 3, 2023 | Koivula was reassigned to and the recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Friday, per CapFriendly. - Koivula was shuffled in a paper move to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs. He has one assist in five NHL games this season. | None |

| Feb. 16, 2023 | Koivula was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Thursday, per CapFriendly. - Koivula made his season debut Tuesday, logging 6:36 of ice time and a hit against the Senators. Jean-Gabriel Pageau (upper body) was placed on injured reserve and Andy Andreoff was recalled from Bridgeport in corresponding moves. | None |
| Feb. 13, 2023 | Koivula was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Monday. - Koivula has produced 10 goals and 21 points in 42 games at the AHL level this year. He had two assist in eight NHL appearances with New York during the 2021-22 campaign. If Casey Cizikas (illness) isn't available, Koivula could get a chance to play Tuesday versus Ottawa. | None |
| Oct. 9, 2022 | Koivula was waived by the Islanders on Sunday, CapFriendly reports. - Koivula signed a two-year extension this offseason, including a two-way deal for the first year.

| July 9, 2022 | Koivula signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the Islanders on Saturday, per PuckPedia. - The first year is two-way, while the second year is one-way, indicating the Islanders view Koivula as fully NHL ready by 2023-24. The 23-year-old center earned his first two NHL points, both assists, in eight games last season. | None |
| April 26, 2022 | Koivula has been reassigned to AHL Bridgeport. - Koivula's demotion comes as Jean-Gabriel Pageau was removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. In his limited eight games this year, the 23-year-old Koivula has managed two assists, eight shots and eight hits despite averaging just 10:45 of ice time. With just three games left for the Isles this year, Koivula is unlikely to see action in another NHL contest. | None |
| April 21, 2022 | Koivula was promoted from AHL Bridgeport on Thursday. - Koivula is expected to suit up in a bottom-six role Thursday with Anthony Beauvillier (upper body) and Jean-Gabriel Pageau (COVID-19 protocols) both out against the Rangers. The 23-year-old has one assist in five NHL games this season. | None |
| April 20, 2022 | Koivula was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Koivula was up with the Islanders for a day to serve as extra forward depth. The 23-year-old is unlikely to draw into many games at the NHL level for the remainder of the season even if he's called up again. | None |
| April 19, 2022 | Koivula was called up from AHL Bridgeport under emergency conditions Tuesday. - It's unclear if Koivula will draw into the lineup or just serve as extra forward depth. The 23-year-old is unlikely to see more than a bottom-six role if he plays any games with the Islanders. | None |
| March 10, 2022 | Koivula was promoted from AHL Bridgeport on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday. - Koivula has averaged 10:38 of ice time and distributed one assist over four NHL games this season. The 23-year-old's most recent NHL appearance was in a 2-1 victory over St. Louis on Saturday. | None |
| March 9, 2022 | Koivula was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Koivula has served as extra center depth with Mathew Barzal (lower body) sidelined recently. The 23-year-old Koivula could be recalled again prior to Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets, but it's no guarantee that he'll play. | None |
| March 7, 2022 | Koivula will be a healthy scratch Monday against Colorado, per Kevin Kurz of The Athletic. - Koivula has averaged 10:38 of ice time and dealt one assist over four NHL appearances this season. His most recent NHL appearance was in Saturday's 2-1 victory over St. Louis. | None |

| March 5, 2022 | Koivula was elevated from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday. - Koivula has generated 36 points over 43 appearances for AHL Bridgeport in 2021-22. The 23-year-old's last NHL point was an assist in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Nov. 24. | None |
| Dec. 11, 2021 | Koivula was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday. - Casey Cizikas (not injury related) and Brock Nelson (lower body) are both returning to action Saturday, so the Islanders are no longer in need of Koivula's services up front. The 23-year-old forward has picked up one assist through three top-level appearances this year. | None |
| Dec. 9, 2021 | Koivula was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game as the Islanders played host to the Predators on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Koivula was recalled from Bridgeport in late November when the Islanders had what seemed like half their team on the COVID-19 protocols. He played three games and had one point, an assist. Since the team has gotten healthier, he has been a spectator, and with Casey Cizikas (COVID-19) starting to skate with the team, it seems likely that Koivula will be the odd man out and sent back to Bridgeport once Cizikas is activated. | None |
| Nov. 24, 2021 | Koivula was elevated from the minors Wednesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Koivula has notched 15 points in 17 games for AHL Bridgeport and could be immediately inserted in the lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday. If Koivula does suit up, it would likely be in favor of Anatoli Golyshev or Andy Andreoff. Once New York is able to get some guys back from the COVID-19 protocols, Koivula figures to find himself back in the minors. | None |
