Career
Petteri Nokelainen began his career as an ice hockey player in 2002 in his Finnish homeland with SaiPa Lappeenranta from the SM-liiga . He played there for a total of three years. During the NHL Entry Draft 2004 , the Finn was selected by the New York Islanders in the first round as the 16th player. Nokelainen stayed in Finland for one more season before joining the Islanders in the summer of 2005. In his first season Nokelainen met once in 15 games for the team from New York , but he was out for months due to a serious knee injury. The following season he played exclusively for the farm team of the Islanders from the American Hockey League , the Bridgeport Sound Tigers .
On September 11, 2007, Nokelainen was given to Ben Walter and a possible second-round vote in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft to the Boston Bruins . There, too, Nokelainen came first for the Boston AHL farm team, the Providence Bruins , but he finally prevailed in the National Hockey League and played 57 games in his first season with the Bruins, with which he reached the playoffs. From the summer of 2008 Nokelainen played exclusively for the NHL team of the Bruins, who transferred him to the Anaheim Ducks on March 4, 2009 in exchange for Steve Montador . After a year on the west coast, he moved to the Phoenix Coyotes . In August 2010 Nokelainen signed a two-year contract with Jokerit Helsinki . In May 2011, however, he returned to Phoenix.
In October 2011, the Phoenix Coyotes transferred him to the Montréal Canadiens together with Garrett Stafford in exchange for Brock Trotter and a seven-round vote in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft . Montréal extended its expiring contract in June 2012 by one year and used it exclusively with the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL in the following season .
On August 16, 2013 Nokelainen signed a one-year contract with Brynäs IF from Svenska Hockeyligan . The attacker began the 2014/15 season with the Russian club Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the Continental Hockey League , but was released in November 2015.
