Kailer Yamamoto - Produces helperYamamoto recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

ImpactYamamoto set up an Andre Burakovsky tally in the second period, which stretched the Kraken's lead to 3-0. The 25-year-old Yamamoto has played much of the season on the fourth line, and with the Kraken nearing full health up front, his chances to move up are low. He's produced a decent 12 points with 41 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 39 appearances, but he could be a candidate to be scratched once Jaden Schwartz (lower body) returns.

Eeli Tolvanen - Bags apple ThursdayTolvanen notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

ImpactTolvanen set up Yanni Gourde on the opening goal at 9:50 of the first period. With three points over two games in January, Tolvanen is already over halfway to matching his production from December (five points in 13 contests). The winger has 10 goals, 14 helpers, 81 shots on net, 83 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 39 appearances in a third-line role.

Tomas Tatar - Finds twine ThursdayTatar scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

ImpactTatar snapped a three-game slump, converting on a pass from Jordan Eberle in the second period. Through eight games with the Kraken, Tatar has three goals and two assists, which is over half the production he posted in 27 outings with the Avalanche to begin the season (nine points). The winger has added 33 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-4 rating, but it's clear he's fit in much better on Seattle's top line while playing in an offense that's more balanced than Colorado's.

Yanni Gourde - Extends point streak in winGourde scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Senators.

ImpactGourde opened the scoring midway through the first period, swatting a rebound past Joonas Korpisalo to give the Kraken an early 1-0 lead. The 32-year-old winger now has points in three straight games, tallying two goals and an assist in the span, after recording just one assist in his previous 15 contests. Overall, Gourde has six goals and 15 points through 39 games in a bottom-six role this season.

Andre Burakovsky - Nets first goal this seasonBurakovsky scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over Ottawa.

ImpactBurakovsky extended Seattle's lead to 3-0 late in the second period, beating Joonas Korpisalo on the rush for his first goal of the season and his first point in three games since returning from IR. Burakovsky's been limited to just 10 games in an injury-plagued campaign, tallying a goal and three assists. The 28-year-old winger has been skating on the fourth line since his return, though he could work back into a top-six role as he shakes off the rust. Burakovsky had 13 goals and 39 points in 49 games last season.

Jordan Eberle - Grabs two assists in winEberle notched a pair of assists in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Senators.

ImpactEberle set up Tomas Tatar in the first period before earning a second helper on Vince Dunn's game-sealing empty-netter in the third. The two-point showing snapped a four-game scoring drought for Eberle, who has just six points (one goal, five assists) in his last 14 games. It's been a down year offensively overall for the veteran winger, who now has four goals and 18 points through 35 games despite maintaining his spot on Seattle's top line.

Parker Kelly - Scores goal ThursdayKelly scored a goal on one shot against the Kraken on Thursday.

ImpactKelly has tallied just three times in 34 games this season, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting this to be a regular occurrence. Still, with six points on the year, the Alberta native should be capable of topping his career-best 12 points set back in 2021-22.
