The Kraken rank 28th offensively this campaign with 2.69 goals per game, so they're a favorable matchup for Markstrom.

Dillon Dube - Stuck in slump Dube has failed to record a point over his last 14 games.
Impact Dube has been stuck on the fourth line for a while, averaging 9:30 of ice time per game during his drought. His goal-scoring slump is even longer at 22 contests. Dube has a mere seven points, 33 shots on net, 18 hits, 17 blocked shots and minus-7 rating over 33 appearances. With the lack of results, it's possible he's at risk of being a healthy scratch at some point -- Walker Duehr would be the one to step into the lineup.

Adam Ruzicka - Puts up power-play helper Saturday Ruzicka logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Ruzicka snapped a seven-game point drought when he set up a Blake Coleman tally in the third period. Ruzicka has played most of the season in a fourth-line role. He exceeded 10 minutes of ice time in this contest, doing so for the first time since Dec. 7. Overall, the 24-year-old has nine points (four on the power play), 29 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 29 appearances.

Andrew Mangiapane - Posts helper in loss Mangiapane produced an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Mangiapane was demoted to the fourth line for this game, though his top-line replacement, A.J. Greer, still ranked last on the team for ice time. Mangiapane's 10:10 of ice time Saturday was his lowest mark in a game he finished this season, and it continues a downward trend for the winger. He's picked up a mere three points over 11 games in December, giving him six goals, 11 helpers, 52 shots on net, 33 hits, 37 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 33 outings overall. While he's shown goal-scoring talent in the past, he's hardly a buy-low candidate given his lengthy slump and shrinking role.

Yegor Sharangovich - Slides another assist Sharangovich produced a shorthanded assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Sharangovich continues to mesh well with Blake Coleman on the penalty kill, as the two connected for another goal Saturday. Sharangovich is up to a career-high five shorthanded points this season, compared to just two power-play points among his 11 goals and 10 assists overall. The 25-year-old has added 67 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 34 appearances while most frequently serving in a top-line role in recent weeks.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikael Backlund - Generates helper Saturday Backlund registered an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Backlund set up a Rasmus Andersson marker in the first period. While he's no point-per-game threat, Backlund has three goals and three helpers over 11 outings in December. The center is up to 17 points, 86 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-2 rating through 34 games in an all-situations role. He's on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the seventh time in the last nine years.

MacKenzie Weegar - Draws power-play helper Weegar logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Weegar had gone two games without a point for the first time since mid-November. The 29-year-old defenseman ended the short dry spell with a helper on Blake Coleman's power-play marker in the third period. Weegar has 20 points, 85 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 58 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 34 outings this season. He continues to serve as a physical complement to Rasmus Andersson's skill game on the Flames' top pairing.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rasmus Andersson - Mixed results in loss Andersson scored a goal on five shots, blocked five shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Andersson quickly tied the game at 1-1 with a goal in the first period. The 27-year-old has been diligent in the defensive zone lately, recording at least two blocked shots in 11 straight games. He's up to five tallies, 18 points, 69 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 30 outings overall as the Flames' top defenseman.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Coleman - Force on special teams Coleman scored two goals, one on the power play and the other shorthanded, on four shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact Coleman has four shorthanded goals this season, all of which have come since Dec. 7. The 32-year-old also made a rare impact with the man advantage, getting the Flames within a goal in the third period. This was his first multi-goal game of the campaign, but he's been excellent as a do-it-all forward. Coleman has 12 goals, 12 assists, 86 shots on net, 36 hits, 22 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 34 appearances, putting him on pace for a career year.
