| April 17, 2026 | Kokko was sent down to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday. - Kokko saw action in three NHL games during his stint with the Kraken, posting a 1-2-0 record and 3.03 GAA. The Finnish netminder put up much better numbers with the Firebirds, going 18-10-2 with a .903 save percentage in 34 minor-league outings. With both Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer under contract next year, Kokko figures to be hard-pressed to see significant opportunities in the NHL. | None |
| April 15, 2026 | Kokko will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. - Kokko is 1-1-0 with five goals allowed on 56 shots over the last two games while he fills in at the NHL level. This will be his third straight start, and he could go again Thursday versus the Avalanche if Joey Daccord (lower body) and Philipp Grubauer (lower body) both remain out. | None |
| April 14, 2026 | Kokko stopped 25 of 29 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game. - Kokko made his second straight start since both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Joey Daccord (lower body) are sidelined. Unlike Saturday when he recorded a win over the Flames, though, he couldn't come out on top this time around. Through two starts, Kokko has stopped 51 of 56 shots faced, and he's likely to remain as the No. 1 option between the pipes in at least one of Seattle's final two games of the regular season. The Kraken are playing the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Avalanche on Thursday. | None |
| April 13, 2026 | Kokko will defend the home crease in Monday's clash against the Kings, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Kokko will look to follow up his strong performance in Saturday's game, which resulted in his first career NHL win. He stopped 26 shots and allowed just one goal, giving him momentum ahead of Monday. The 22-year-old netminder came by the opportunity to start down the stretch with both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Joey Deccord (lower body) sidelined. Kokko will clash with the Kings, who rank 29th in the NHL with 2.67 goals per game this season. | None |
| April 11, 2026 | Kokko will patrol the home crease against Calgary on Saturday, per Sound of Hockey. - Due to the absences of Joey Daccord (lower body) and Philipp Grubauer (lower body), Kokko appears poised to make his first NHL start. The 22-year-old Kokko made a relief appearance against St. Louis on Feb. 25, 2025, and he allowed two goals on six shots in a 7-2 loss. He has gone 18-10-2 with a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 34 AHL appearances this season. | None |
| April 9, 2026 | Kokko was summoned from AHL Coachella Valley on an emergency basis Thursday. - Kokko was recalled as Philipp Grubauer is day-to-day with a lower-body injury while Matt Murray left the team to take care of a family matter. That leaves Joey Daccord as the only goalie available Thursday versus Vegas, necessitating the recall of Kokko. Kokko had an 18-10-2 record with a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 34 AHL games this season. He made his NHL debut last season, allowing two goals on six shots in relief of Joey Daccord in a 7-2 loss to St. Louis. | None |
| April 3, 2026 | Kokko logged a 21-save shutout in AHL Coachella Valley's 2-0 win over Abbotsford on Friday. - This was Kokko's second shutout of the season. He's struggled quite a bit this year, going 18-10-2 with a 3.10 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 34 appearances despite similar a similar workload to last year. Kokko has improved lately with seven wins over his last 10 outings, but he's allowed five goals in each of his three losses in that span. | None |
| Nov. 28, 2025 | Kokko posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-0 win over San Diego on Friday. - Kokko earned the first shutout of his AHL career with this effort. He's now 6-3-1 with a 3.36 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 11 outings this season as the Firebirds' primary netminder. He will likely spend most or all of 2025-26 with Coachella Valley, as the Kraken have opted to have three goalies on the NHL roster when fully healthy this season. | None |
| March 2, 2025 | Kokko was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday. - Kokko's demotion comes at the expense of Philipp Grubauer being recalled from the Firebirds in a corresponding move. Kokko allowed two goals on six shots in his NHL debut in relief of Joey Daccord in a 7-2 loss to the Blues on Feb. 25. Kokko was a second-round selection in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, so he figures to be a big part of Seattle's future, provided he continues to develop at the AHL level. | None |
| Feb. 25, 2025 | Kokko stopped four of six shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blues. - Kokko played the final half of the game after a poor showing from Daccord early on. The Blues eased up significantly, but Kokko didn't exactly impress despite a limited workload. He was called up Monday to take on the backup role, though it's possible the Kraken continue to shuffle Kokko and Ales Stezka around to avoid having either of them sitting out too long. The Kraken's next game is Saturday against the Canucks, and with no back-to-backs over the next week, the 20-year-old Kokko may benefit from an assignment to AHL Coachella Valley to keep him in a playing rhythm. | None |
| Feb. 24, 2025 | Kokko was elevated from AHL Coachella Valley on Monday. - Kokko's promotion is likely more about getting Ales Stezka, who was sent down to the minors in a corresponding move, some game action, as the Firebirds will play Wednesday and Friday against AHL Henderson and AHL San Diego, respectively. Meanwhile, the 20-year-old Kokko figures to serve as the backup to Joey Daccord versus St. Louis on Tuesday -- assuming the Kraken don't decide to reverse these two moves Tuesday. | None |
