Ostman was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.
Ostman made his NHL debut Tuesday against Utah, stopping all 12 shots he faced after starter Joey Daccord got tagged for seven goals. The 24-year-old Ostman will continue to gain experience in the AHL, where he's made four starts with a 2-1-1 record, 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Ostman's move suggests that Philipp Grubauer (illness), who missed Tuesday's game against Utah, could return for Thursday's matchup against the Golden Knights.

Kraken's Victor Ostman: Makes NHL debut in relief
Rotowire
Ostman stopped all 12 shots he faced in relief of Joey Daccord in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to Utah.
Ostman was sharp, though Utah had eased up a bit after torching Daccord for seven goals on 29 shots. Ostman spent much of the campaign at ECHL Kansas City, going 21-7-4 with a 2.52 GAA and a .903 save percentage. He's also made four AHL appearances with a 2-1-1 record, 2.00 GAA and a .927 save percentage. His stay in the NHL is likely to be short, and the 24-year-old is likely looking at another year or two of AHL action before contending for an NHL job despite this respectable debut with the Kraken.

Kraken's Victor Ostman: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
Ostman was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.
Ostman's promotion to the NHL roster could be an indication that either Joey Daccord or Philipp Grubauer won't be available to face Utah on Tuesday -- though it could also be a precautionary move to add some extra depth ahead of the final two games of a five-game road trip. Regardless, it almost certainly won't be Ostman who gets the starting nod against Utah.
