Niklas Kokko to Make Home Start Against Los Angeles Kings

Niklas Kokko was the first goaltender off the ice Monday and is slated to defend the home crease in the evening's clash against the Los Angeles Kings, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. With Joey Daccord sidelined by a lower-body injury, Kokko steps into the starting role for the Seattle Kraken. This appearance provides the young netminder with a significant opportunity to showcase his skills at the NHL level against a tough divisional rival in Seattle.
