Playing career

Tarkki originally played professionally in his native Finland with Lukko, SaiPa and the Espoo Blues of the SM-liiga. [2] On 6 May 2011, Tarkki signed as an undrafted free agent to a one-year entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks. [3]

Tarkki made his NHL debut for the Ducks on 8 January 2012, against the Columbus Blue Jackets, after primary goaltender Jonas Hiller was injured late in the first period. [4] He led the Ducks to a 7–4 victory and racked up his first career NHL win. [5] [6]

On 2 October 2013, he became free agent after cancellation of a contract with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). [7] On 18 November 2013, he moved to the Swedish Hockey League, in agreeing to a contract for the remainder of the season with Linköpings HC.

Having later returned to the Finnish Liiga, during his second season with Oulun Kärpät, Tarkki appeared in 12 games for the 2015–16 season, before his contract was terminated and immediately ended his professional career on 31 December 2015. [8]
