Victor Ostman News

Ostman will make his first career NHL start when the Kraken travel to Denver for their regular season finale on Thursday. The 25-year-old did make one relief appearance for Seattle last season and stopped all 12 shots he faced in one period of play. He's appeared in 35 games for Coachella Valley (AHL) this season, posting a 17-14-3 record and a .907 SV%. Ostman's debut matchup on Thursday is made slightly easier thanks to the Avalanche resting the majority of their core players, but the Kraken still enter action at +160 on the money line.

With all three of the Kraken's regular netminders unavailable, Ostman comes up from the AHL and is expected to serve as Nikke Kokko's backup vs. the Flames. Ostman has gone 17-14-3 with a. 2.77 GAA and .907 SV% in 35 games with Coachella Valley (AHL) this season.

Ostman made his NHL debut in a relief performance yesterday, saving all 12 shots he faced in a 7-1 loss to the Utah Hockey Club. The 24-year-old netminder has a 2.00 GAA and .927 SV% in four games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL) this season (2-1-1).

Philipp Grubauer is out with an illness on Tuesday, so Ostman will take his spot on the Kraken bench. Joey Daccord will start for the second time in as many nights.

Ostman is an undrafted Swedish goalie that has yet to play an NHL game. The 24-year-old netminder has a 2.00 GAA and .927 SV% in four games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL) this season (2-1-1).

Ostman is an undrafted 23-year-old out of Sweden who has played collegiate hockey for the last four seasons with the University of Maine. His 2023-24 campaign consisted of a 2.81 GAA and .892 SV% in 21 games (13-6-1).
