Returns to AHL Evans was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday.
Nabs power-play helper Evans logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.
Impact Evans set up Oliver Bjorkstrand for the game-tying goal with 2:29 left in regulation. The 22-year-old Evans has picked up four helpers over his last three games after opening his career with no points in three contests. He's seen time on the second power-play unit and third pairing, but he's often been just about even with Will Borgen in total ice time. Evans has added 11 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-4 rating across six outings. It's possible he could stick in the lineup even after Justin Schultz (upper body) returns.

First multi-point effort Evans registered two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Evans opened his NHL career with three scoreless outings, but he's picked up three assists over his last two games. He also got a little more ice time Thursday in the blowout win, logging 20:23. The 22-year-old has added 10 shots on net, seven hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. Evans should stick in the lineup as long as Justin Schultz (upper body) is out.

Earns first point in win Evans logged an assist for his first NHL point in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Florida.
Impact Evans demonstrated some impressive vision to earn his first career point, working his way behind the net from the point before delivering a cross-ice feed to an open Pierre-Eduard Bellemare. The 22-year-old Evans does offer some offensive upside from the blueline -- he had two goals and eight points in 18 AHL games after tallying 44 points (six goals, 38 assists) in 71 games last season. However, with Justin Schultz (upper body) expected to return soon, Evans could find himself back in the minors.

Receives call-up Evans was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.
Impact Evans is off to a modest start at the AHL level this season with eight points and 20 PIM through 18 contests. Nonetheless, he'll get a look at the NHL level with the Kraken in the midst of a five-game losing streak. The team is at home for a six-game homestand, which allows head coach Dave Hakstol to set the matchups on the ice -- expect Evans to receive sheltered usage on the third pairing and potentially some power-play time if he gets into the lineup.

Starting season in AHL Evans was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday, Kraken radio announcer Mike Benton reports.
Impact Evans made a strong push for a roster spot but ultimately fell short. If the Kraken have a need for another defenseman, he'll likely be first in line for a call-up, and he should be able to jump into action before veteran Jaycob Megna, who is expected to serve as a seventh defenseman this year.
