So who is Jussi Jokinen exactly? Jokinen is joining a Kings roster already loaded with talent, bringing in another veteran presence. Jokinen had played 14 games with the Oilers so far this season. In those 14 games played, Jussi has only totaled one point, coming from an assist against the Carolina Hurricanes on October 17th. Jokinen has also racked up only two penalty minutes this season as well.
In his 13th NHL season, Jokinen has been quite the journeyman around the league prior to joining the Kings. He’s also played for the Florida Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Dallas Stars respectively.
