Ville Ottavainen News: Inks one-year deal

Published on July 10, 2026

Ottavainen signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kraken on Friday.

Ottavainen had three goals, 17 points and 71 PIM in 53 regular-season outings with AHL Coachella Valley in 2025-26. He didn't play in the NHL last season, but he did register an assist in one regular-season appearance with Seattle in 2024-25. Ottavainen will probably open the upcoming campaign in the minors.
