  • Kraken's Vince Dunn: Nabs helper in loss

    Dunn recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Dunn had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games. Before that, he racked up three goals and four assists during a four-game point streak. The Kraken's offense has been volatile at times this season, but Dunn is one of the team's steadiest contributors on offense. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to eight goals, 11 assists, 49 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 24 appearances.

  • Kraken's Jaden Schwartz: Two apples in loss

    Schwartz produced a pair of primary assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Schwartz set up both of Seattle's goals Sunday, but his efforts came after Detroit got out to a 6-0 lead in the second period. The veteran winger has compiled four goals and five assists over his last eight games, and he's provided stability in a top-line role alongside Matty Beniers, who has struggled at times this season. Schwartz is tied for second on the team in points, accounting for 13 goals and 16 helpers through 44 outings this season.

  • Kraken's Matty Beniers: Ends four-game point slump

    Beniers scored his eighth goal of the season on his only shot and went plus-1 in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Beniers netted an even-strength goal at 6:54 of the third period to make the final score look slightly less lopsided. Considering the 22-year-old is centering the top line in addition to skating on the No. 1 power-play unit, his offensive output in 2024-25 has been lacking. It's been a struggle for the Massachusetts native to produce consistently since he put up 57 points in 80 regular-season games in his first full NHL campaign in 2022-23. Beniers has been joined on the top line by Kaapo Kakko, who was recently acquired in a trade from the Rangers, so it may take some time for Seattle's newly formed top line to gel. Beniers is at eight goals, 23 points and a plus-6 rating through 44 appearances.

  • Kraken's Oliver Bjorkstrand: Pots goal in defeat

    Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal on five shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.

    Bjorkstrand got Seattle on the board late in the second period to end Cam Talbot's shutout bid. Bjorkstrand has found the back of the net in back-to-back games after being held off the scoresheet in the first four games of January. The right-shot winger's production has been streaky this season, but he's an efficient depth player in most formats. He's in a three-way tie for the team lead in goals (13) with Jaden Schwartz and Jared McCann. Bjorkstrand has added 15 helpers and a plus-1 rating through 43 appearances.

  • Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Pulled in loss to Detroit

    Grubauer conceded three goals on four shots before being replaced by Joey Daccord in the first period of Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Grubauer was blitzed for three goals, one on the power play, in the opening 6:16 of Sunday's defeat. Daccord saw game action for a second straight day as a result. The 33-year-old Grubauer closed out December with back-to-back victories, but he's winless in January, posting an 0-3-1 record, .861 save percentage and 3.91 GAA across four outings. The German netminder has just five wins through 20 appearances to go along with an .870 save percentage and 3.76 GAA this campaign.

  • Kraken's Joey Daccord: Makes relief appearance Sunday

    Daccord stopped 16 of 19 shots after replacing Philipp Grubauer in the first period of Sunday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.

    Daccord replaced Grubauer just over six minutes into the contest after the latter surrendered three goals on four shots. This was Daccord's second appearance in as many days -- he made 33 saves on 35 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo. The 28-year-old has a firm grasp on the No. 1 netminding duties due to Grubauer's struggles this season, and through 26 appearances, Daccord sports a 13-9-2 record, .912 save percentage and 2.49 GAA.

  • Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Starting in Detroit

    Grubauer will guard the road goal versus the Red Wings on Sunday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

    Grubauer will get the second half of Seattle's back-to-back after Joey Daccord played in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo. The 33-year-old Grubauer has a 5-13-1 record with a 3.62 GAA and an .875 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. Detroit sits 25th in the league with 2.78 goals per game in 2024-25, and the Red Wings are riding a six-game winning streak.

  • Kraken's Jamie Oleksiak: Adds helper on empty-netter

    Oleksiak logged an assist and five blocked shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    Oleksiak has contributed three assists, 43 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 18 appearances since the start of December. The 32-year-old defenseman is rarely a big source of offense, but he can handle a shutdown role while seeing top-four minutes for the Kraken. This season, Oleksiak has eight points, 34 shots on net, 96 blocks, 32 hits and a minus-7 rating while most frequently playing on a pairing with the more goal-dangerous Brandon Montour.

  • Kraken's Ryker Evans: Sparks comeback Saturday

    Evans scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    Evans' goal got the Kraken on the board at 12:48 of the second period, cutting the Sabres' lead to 2-1. It was just the beginning for Seattle, as they rallied for six straight tallies to run away with the win. The goal was Evans' first point over five outings in January and his third point of the last 16 contests. He's at five goals, 19 points, 43 shots on net, 61 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 41 appearances. The 23-year-old should be a regular in the lineup, but he's stuck on the third pairing. Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour also block Evans for a spot on the power play.

  • Kraken's Brandon Tanev: Fills empty cage

    Tanev scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    The Kraken scored the last six goals of the contest, with Tanev putting the cherry on top with his empty-netter. This goal was his first since Dec. 8, and he snapped a 10-game point drought in the process. The 33-year-old winger often isn't very productive on offense while playing a bottom-six role. For the season, he's chipped in with eight goals, 15 points, 67 shots on net, 90 hits, 72 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 42 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his total from 2023-24 when he logged 66 games played, and he's on pace to reach the 20-point mark for just the fourth time in his career.

  • Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Lights lamp Saturday

    Burakovsky scored a goal on five shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    Burakovsky tied the game at 2-2 with 48 seconds left in the second period. The winger has four points over six outings since he missed a game due to an illness. Burakovsky continues to see middle-six minutes, and while it looks like he's turning things around, Kraken forwards often tend to be a bit streaky. The 29-year-old has four goals, 16 points, 62 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 40 appearances this season, matching his point total from a 49-game effort in an injury-riddled 2023-24.

  • Kraken's Oliver Bjorkstrand: First goal in 12 games

    Bjorkstrand scored a goal Saturday in a 6-2 win over the Sabres.

    It was his first goal in 12 games (four assists). Bjorkstrand is prone to offensive spurts and slumps, and right now, he's certainly in a slump. Overall, the winger has 27 points, including 12 goals, in 42 games. Bjorkstrand's fantasy value is tough to time. Wait for a few scoring games in a row before you pluck him off the wire.

  • Kraken's Josh Mahura: Rare multi-point game

    Mahura tallied two assists in a 6-2 win over the Sabres on Saturday.

    It was a great night for the third-pairing defender, who came into the game with one assist in 30 appearances. Mahura's only other helper this season came in a win over the Canadiens on Oct. 29. We'd like to tell you that Mahura brought fantasy value in a secondary category, but he has just 44 hits and 23 blocks in 31 games. His last multi-point game came March 16, 2023, when he put up two assists. This was also his third career multi-point contest. He's definitely a guy who helps more on the ice than in the fantasy arena.

  • Kraken's Jared McCann: Three-game, four-assist streak

    McCann has two assists in a 6-2 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

    One assist came on the power play. McCann is on a three-game, four-assist streak that includes two power-play points. He also has six shots. McCann has just three goals in his last 18 outings, which is odd for a forward who's known more for sniping than playmaking. He has 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists) and 107 shots in 43 games overall. The goals will come.

  • Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: Five game, six-point scoring streak

    Stephenson had two assists Saturday in a 6-2 win over Buffalo.

    Stephenson has six points (two goals, four assists) on a five-game point streak. He has 48 face-off wins (50.0 percent) in that span, but no power-play points. Stephenson has picked up his offense of late with four goals and 12 assists in his last 19 games and is regaining fantasy relevance. He had 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) in his first 23 games.

  • Kraken's Joey Daccord: Wins first start since Dec. 22

    Daccord made 33 saves in a 6-2 win over the Sabres on Saturday.

    It was his first start since Dec. 22; he had missed five games before returning Thursday and playing in relief. Daccord is 13-9-2 with a 2.45 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 24 starts this season. Managers can breathe easy that he's back from injury and has been able to sustain his excellence from last season. Daccord is a solid fantasy play.

  • Kraken's Kaapo Kakko: Continues strong play with new team

    Kakko scored twice Saturday in a 6-2 win over Buffalo.

    Kakko has seven points (three goals, four assists) in 10 games since his arrival in a trade with the Rangers on Dec. 18. He has always had game-breaking offensive skills coupled with elite vision and strong puck skills, but he has never put that all together in the NHL. Kakko may be rounding into his draft day scouting report on the Kraken's top line.
