During the 2004-05 NHL lockout, Jokinen played for the Sodertalje SK in Sweden, the EHC Kloten in Swtizerland and the HIFK Helsinki in Finland. He served as captain of the Panthers until June 20, 2008, when he was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes, where he served for less then 1 season before being traded to the Calgary Flames on March 4, 2009. -
