Kokko was in the starter's crease at Seattle's morning skate.

With all three of the Kraken's regular netminders unavailable, Kokko has been thrust into a starting role in the final few games of the regular season. The 22-year-old Swedish goalie has been serviceable in a very small sample size, posting a 2.55 GAA and .911 SV% in two games (1-1-0). The Kraken enter Wednesday's contest as significant +250 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team on a seven-game winning streak.

Kokko will start against the Kings on Monday.

With all three of the Kraken's regular netminders unavailable, Kokko made his first career start last week and dazzled between the pipes, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames.

Seattle enters Monday's contest as +139 home underdogs against a desperate Los Angeles Kings team that has won four straight, inching them closer to a playoff berth.
