Nikke Kokko stopped 26 shots in his first NHL start and Matty Beniers scored his 20th goal of the season as the Seattle Kraken beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 Saturday night
As time ran out on Nikke Kokko’s first career NHL start, the 22-year-old Seattle goalie flung the puck down the ice. The Calgary Flames had already pulled their own goalie, Devin Cooley, as they tried to rally from a two-goal deficit in their 4-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. Kokko’s prospective shot on goal was deflected deep in Seattle’s end by Flames forward Morgan Frost, though, ending any hopes of a storybook ending to the Oulu, Finland, native’s second career NHL game.
Nikke Kokko stopped 26 shots in his first NHL start and Matty Beniers scored his 20th goal of the season as the Seattle Kraken beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 Saturday night. The Kraken (34-34-1) won their second straight after learning before the game they had been eliminated from playoff contention when the Los Angeles Kings beat the Edmonton Oilers 1-0. Seattle had lost six straight games before beating the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in a shootout on Thursday.
