Tampa Bay ranks third in the league with 3.56 goals per game in 2024-25. | None |
| Feb. 19, 2025 | Stezka was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday. - Stezka was sent to Coachella Valley on Sunday while the Kraken were off for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

| Feb. 9, 2025 | Stezka was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday. - Seattle recalled Victor Ostman from ECHL Kansas City in a corresponding move. Stezka will probably return to the Kraken after the 4 Nations Face-Off break to be Joey Daccord's backup. | None |

The 28-year-old will serve as backup to Joey Daccord, but the Kraken don't have any back-to-backs prior to the NHL's break for the tournament. Philipp Grubauer was waived Wednesday and will likely end up with the Firebirds, though it's unclear if that move will be permanent for the rest of 2024-25 or if it's an effort to get Grubauer back to playing at an acceptable level. | None |
| Jan. 7, 2025 | Stezka was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday, per Sound of Hockey. - Stezka's demotion comes after Joey Daccord (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Tuesday.

| Nov. 11, 2024 | Stezka was brought up from AHL Coachella Valley on an emergency basis Monday. - Stezka will likely serve as Joey Daccord's backup for Tuesday's home matchup against Columbus if Philipp Grubauer (undisclosed) isn't ready to go.

| Nov. 9, 2024 | Stezka was moved to AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday. - Stezka served as the backup goaltender in Seattle's 4-3 overtime win over Vegas on Friday because Philipp Grubauer was unavailable due to an undisclosed injury he suffered during an accident at home.

The 27-year-old Stezka has a 3.61 GAA and an .881 save percentage in six outings with Coachella Valley this season. | None |
| Nov. 7, 2024 | Stezka was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday. - Philipp Grubauer is dealing with a minor injury after an accident at his home, so Stezka will fill in as backup in the short term.

The 27-year-old has yet to make an appearance in the NHL. | None |
| June 30, 2024 | Stezka signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Kraken on Sunday. - Stezka made his AHL debut last season after coming over from the Czech league. He posted an impressive 2.48 GAA and .914 save percentage during 27 regular-season appearances. The 27-year-old will likely spend most of the 2024-25 campaign with AHL Coachella Valley. | None |
| May 2, 2023 | Stezka signed a one-year, $950,000 contract with the Kraken on Tuesday. - Stezka was drafted by the Wild in 2015, but he never signed with the team. He spent 2022-23 with HC Vitkovice in the Czech league, going 25-14-0 with a 2.14 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 39 regular-season games. He also went 6-6-0 with a 1.24 GAA and a .960 save percentage in the postseason.
