Joey Daccord Earns Victory Over Los Angeles

Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord stopped 28 of the 29 shots he saw en route to defeating the Los Angeles Kings on Monday evening. The Kings held the slight advantage in the shot total, but Daccord was able to lead the way. His lone mistake came in the opening frame to Quinton Byfield, who scored his 20th goal of the campaign. This outing also extended Daccord's winning streak to three games. During this streak, he has held a near-perfect 0.67 GAA with a .974 save percentage. However, in his last four games before this recent stretch, Daccord posted a much higher 3.25 GAA with a .893 save percentage. Through 54 total games, Daccord has posted a 27-20-5 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .911 save percentage.

Eeli Tolvanen Could Be Ready To Return Saturday

Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen (undisclosed) was a full participant in Friday's practice, a strong signal that he might be ready to return to the lineup on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. The Finnish forward is officially considered a game-time call for the matchup. Tolvanen has missed one game due to an undisclosed injury. With a total of 22 markers, Tolvanen holds second spot on the team regarding goals scored. He has added 12 assists in 75 outings this season. However, Tolvanen has been cold offensively in recent weeks, finishing seven of his last eight appearances without any points.

Jaden Schwartz A Game-Time Call Saturday

Seattle Kraken forward Jaden Schwartz (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against the San Jose Sharks. He has been day-to-day since missing Wednesday's matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. Schwartz is topping the Kraken's goals list with 23 markers and has amassed 46 points in 75 appearances. Eeli Tolvanen (undisclosed) is also a game-time decision on Saturday. It would be a nice boost for the team's offense if both players could return against the Sharks, who allow a league-high 3.73 goals per game.

Jared McCann Tallies Three Helpers On Wednesday

Seattle Kraken left wing Jared McCann tallied three helpers during their 5-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. In the second frame, McCann would tally the secondary assist on Chandler Stephenson's 12th goal of the season and the primary assist on Shane Wright's 18th goal of the season. Later in the third, he would tally another primary assist, this time on Andre Burakovsky's ninth goal of the campaign. Over his previous eight games, McCann has been quite busy on the scoresheet, scoring two goals and adding eight assists. Before this recent surge, McCann tallied just two points over his previous 10 contests. Through 76 total games, the 28-year-old has scored 18 goals and added 37 assists. McCann will look to stay hot on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks.

Kraken head coach Dan Bylsma has announced that Tolvanen and Jaden Schwartz (undisclosed) are both considered day-to-day.

Chandler Stephenson A Game-Time Decision Saturday

Seattle Kraken center Chandler Stephenson (upper body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Stars. Stephenson has missed three games due to an upper-body injury, but he returned to practice earlier in the week and took part in Saturday's morning skate, which indicates that there's a strong chance Stephenson will return against Dallas. The 30-year-old has been in good form throughout the campaign, totaling 48 points (11 goals, 37 assists) in 69 appearances. He has finished only one of his last seven outings without registering any points.

Jaden Schwartz Scores Twice On Thursday

Seattle Kraken left wing Jaden Schwartz found the back of the net twice during their 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Schwartz did all of his damage in the second frame. He first scored on the power play on a tip-in. Later in the period, he would find the back of the net during 5-on-5 play on a wrist shot. In this contest, he logged seven shots on goal and added one hit and one blocked shot. Over his previous five games, Schwartz has begun to find his footing offensively as he has scored four goals and added two helpers. However, before this recent surge, he scored just one goal and added two helpers over his previous 14 games. Through 73 contests this season, Schwartz has scored 23 goals and tallied 22 helpers. He will look to stay hot on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken.

Chandler Stephenson  • C  •  Kraken

Chandler Stephenson Out Against Oilers

Seattle Kraken center Chandler Stephenson (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. He suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild, and the team plans to evaluate him further when Seattle finishes its current road trip. This suggests that Stephenson will also miss Tuesday's clash against the Calgary Flames. Tye Kartye is projected to replace Stephenson in the lineup, while Shane Wright could land himself a spot on the second line. Wright has been quiet lately, but a top-six job is sure to boost his fantasy value. The 21-year-old centerman has amassed 40 points (17 goals, 23 assists) in 67 games this season.

Chandler Stephenson Suffers Injury On Wednesday

Seattle Kraken center Chandler Stephenson (undisclosed) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Minnesota Wild. Stephenson logged just over 11 minutes of ice time before exiting and did not participate during the third period. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. Before exiting, Stephenson tallied one shot on goal and did not get on the scoresheet. However, Stephenson carried a six-game point streak into Wednesday's tilt. During this stretch, Stephenson tallied seven points (six helpers) and added four hits and eight blocked shots. Through 69 games, Stephenson has scored just 11 goals but added 37 assists. If he were to miss time, Jared McCann will likely move up to the second offensive line.

Eeli Tolvanen Scores Twice In Victory

Seattle Kraken left wing Eeli Tolvanen scored two goals during their victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Friday evening. Tolvanen opened the scoring in the first period. In the second frame, he would tack on the secondary assist on Brandon Montour's goal. Later in the third, Tolvanen would score the empty-netter to put the game out of reach. This performance pushed him over the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career. This outing also extended his point streak to three games. Over his past seven contests, Tolvanen has found the back of the net five times and added two helpers. During this stretch, he has logged 19 shots on goal and held a +3 rating. Through 67 games this season, the 25-year-old has found the back of the net 21 times and added 12 helpers.

Brandon Montour Scores Twice In Victory

Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour found the back of the net twice and added two helpers during their 5-4 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Montour scored his first goal in the opening frame. In the third period, Montour would add two helpers, both of them coming on the power-play. In overtime, Montour would put his name in the record books as he scored four seconds into the period, which is the fastest mark in NHL history. Entering Wednesday, Montour tallied an impressive five points (three goals) over his last seven contests. During this span, he tallied 22 shots on goal with seven hits and four blocked shots on goal. Through 65 total games this season, the 30-year-old has tallied 36 points. He will look to continue his offensive surge on Friday against the Utah Hockey Club.

Joey Daccord Looks To End Losing Streak Against Canadiens

Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord will start in Wednesday's clash against the Montreal Canadiens. The 28-year-old will look to end a three-game losing streak, having dropped consecutive decisions against Minnesota, Nashville, and Washington while giving up 11 goals. The poor spell has dropped his record to 21-18-3. Daccord has registered a 2.65 goals-against average with a .911 save percentage and one shutout. Montreal has been on a heater lately, but Daccord is expected to return to winning ways on Wednesday, as the oddsmakers have listed Seattle as a -154 favorite.

Yanni Gourde A Game-Time Call On Tuesday

Seattle Kraken center Yanni Gourde (abdomen) is viewed as a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Wild. The 33-year-old has been sidelined since January 2 after undergoing sports hernia surgery. Over his previous 10 contests before the injury, Gourde found the back of the net three times and added three helpers. During this stretch, he logged 20 hits and 10 blocked shots. Through 35 total contests, Gourde has scored six goals and added 10 assists. However, he has found value in leagues that reward hits as he tallied 58 with 26 blocked shots during this span. If the 33-year-old were to re-enter the starting lineup on Tuesday evening, he will likely replace Ben Meyers. Given the time he missed, he will be a high-risk play in DFS as the team may monitor his ice time as he returns to NHL action.

Jordan Eberle  • RW  •  Kraken

Jordan Eberle Back In Action Saturday

Seattle Kraken right wing Jordan Eberle (pelvic) will return from a 40-game absence on Saturday against the Florida Panthers. He has been out since Nov. 16 due to a pelvic injury. Eberle recently had a conditioning stint in the AHL but didn't see any game action, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if the veteran winger is rusty in his first few games back. At the start of the season, Eberle played well with the Kraken, producing six goals and 11 points in 17 contests. Eberle regularly works on the first power-play unit in Seattle and fills a top-six role. Defenseman Ryker Evans (upper body) will also be back in the Kraken lineup against the reigning Stanley Cup champions.

Jordan Eberle Starts Conditioning Stint In AHL

Seattle Kraken right wing Jordan Eberle (pelvic) has been assigned to the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds on a conditioning loan. Eberle has missed three months of action following pelvic surgery, but it looks like he is getting close to returning to the Kraken lineup. The veteran winger posted six goals and 11 points in 17 games before getting hurt. Seattle will continue its season on Feb. 22 against the Florida Panthers. Once he's back in the fold, Eberle should reclaim a top-six spot and work with the first power-play unit.

Yanni Gourde Undergoes Sports-Hernia Surgery

According to the team, Seattle Kraken center Yanni Gourde (abdomen) underwent sports hernia surgery on Friday. The team noted that the 33-year-old is expected to be sidelined five-to-seven weeks. Gourde has been battling a lower-body injury throughout the season and will now face a longer recovery timetable. Across 35 games, Gourde scored six goals and added 10 helpers with a -5 rating. He logged 58 hits and 26 blocks. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Matty Beniers and Chandler Stephenson to continue to operate as the top centers in the lineup. When Gourde does return, he will likely return to the third line. Last season, Gourde made 80 starts with the Kraken and, found the back of the net 11 times, and added 22 helpers.

Ryker Evans  • D  •  Kraken

Ryker Evans Day-To-Day With Upper-Body Injury

According to Alison Lukan of the Seattle Kraken, defenseman Ryker Evans (upper body) is day-to-day with an injury. Evans was unable to participate in Thursday's morning skate. In their recent contest on Tuesday evening against the Anaheim Ducks, Evans saw his ice time drop significantly, which could suggest he sustained this injury during the game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his stats prior to their contest against the Calgary Flames on Sunday evening, as he is not expected to play on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Cale Fleury to draw into the starting lineup, as he was recalled from the AHL earlier on Thursday. Across two games this season, Fleury tallied four hits, three blocks, and no points.

Ryker Evans A Game-Time Decision On Saturday

Seattle Kraken defenseman Ryker Evans (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. His status is uncertain after missing Friday's practice due to an undisclosed injury. Evans has had a strong season with the Kraken, recording 21 points (five goals, 16 assists) in 47 games, along with 71 blocks and 77 hits. If Evans is unable to play, Jamie Oleksiak will likely take on a larger role at the back. The team would also need to make a roster move, as Seattle is currently carrying only six blue-liners.

Chandler Stephenson  • C  •  Kraken

Chandler Stephenson Will Be A Game-Time Decision Saturday

Seattle Kraken center Chandler Stephenson (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 30-year-old was hurt in Thursday's 3-0 defeat to the Washington Capitals. Stephenson is facing an injury setback during a prolific stretch, having scored three goals in his last four games and averaging a point per game over that span. Jared McCann (undisclosed) is also a game-time decision for Saturday, which means Seattle may have to face Sidney Crosby and his gang without two of its top three scorers. As a result, Shane Wright could land a top-six spot, while Eeli Tolvanen might also move up in the lineup.
