Kraken Goalie Nikke Kokko ‘Comfortable’ in First NHL Start as Seattle Beats Flames Amid Elimination

The Seattle Kraken picked up a solid 4-1 win over the visiting Calgary Flames on Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena, winning their second straight game after a rough stretch.

Before the game, the Kraken learned they were mathematically eliminated from Stanley Cup Playoff contention by virtue of the Kings’ win earlier Saturday.
