Seattle Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz (undisclosed) will miss a third consecutive game Wednesday versus Vancouver and is considered week-to-week. Cale Fleury has entered the lineup to deputize for Schultz and should continue to do so until the veteran is ready to play again. Schultz has been enjoying something of a renaissance in Seattle this season, putting up 24 points in 42 games, which is already a point more than he managed in 2021-22. He has nailed down a spot on the first power-play unit, but Schultz has also been productive in even-strength situations, logging 15 points and a plus-seven rating. With him out, Vince Dunn has moved to the top unit and Carson Soucy is skating on the second power-play unit.

Seattle Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz (upper body) is a major doubt for Thursday's clash with Carolina. The veteran has already sat out one game this week, skipping a meeting with Tampa Bay despite taking part in warmups before the game, and there's a strong chance Schultz won't be able to play on Thursday either. He was injured last Sunday in a game against Florida when Ryan Lomberg delivered Schultz a nasty hit from behind. It initially appeared that Schultz came out clean from the incident when he had no trouble practicing ahead of the Lightning game, but he wasn't on the ice Thursday morning, which strongly indicates that the 32-year-old won't be in the lineup against the Hurricanes. With 16 points collected in 27 games, Schultz is having a very solid season in Seattle. His spot on the second defensive pairing has been filled by Will Borgen.
