He has racked up 12 goals and 18 points over his past 22 outings. Jan Jenik, who was recalled from AHL Tucson on Tuesday, will replace Bjugstad in the lineup against the Kraken. Logan Cooley could get a chance to center the top line during Bjugstad's absence.

Impact It's been a tough season for Dermott, who has been limited to just 50 games this year in which he generated two goals and five helpers while averaging 17:17 of ice time. The 27-year-old blueliner's underwhelming season could impact his ability to cash in this offseason, as he will become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Karel Vejmelka - Starting in Seattle Vejmelka will patrol the road crease versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

He'll try to secure his 13th victory of the season in a road matchup with a Seattle squad that's averaging only 2.69 goals at home this year, 28th in the NHL.

Sean Durzi - Registers helper Sunday Durzi notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Durzi had gone three games without a point entering Sunday. The 25-year-old defenseman remains in a top-four role with significant power-play usage, though his offense hasn't been particularly steady in recent weeks. For the season, he's at 37 points (15 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 152 blocked shots, 63 PIM and an even plus-minus rating, production right in line with what he showed over his first two NHL campaigns.

Alexander Kerfoot - Gathers assist in win Kerfoot notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Kerfoot has four points over his last three contests. The 29-year-old center led the Coyotes' forwards with 17:40 of ice time Sunday despite starting the game on the fourth line. He's up to 43 points (11 on the power play) with 96 shots on net, 66 hits, 69 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 77 appearances. Kerfoot is one of the team's most versatile players, and his usage this season has largely reflected that.
APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

He's at 18 goals, 23 helpers, 13 power-play points, 139 shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-12 rating through 77 appearances.
