Josh Mahura - Exits lineup with D at full healthMahura was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
ImpactUnless head coach Dan Bylsma has a message to send, it's likely Mahura will be on the outside looking in for a while. Vince Dunn (upper body) returned from long-term injured reserve Saturday, bumping Mahura from the lineup after a run of 18 appearances in 19 games. The 26-year-old Mahura has one assist, 15 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 19 appearances. He's unlikely to play unless injuries arise on the Kraken's blue line.

Ryker Evans - Stays in top fourEvans logged an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
ImpactVince Dunn (upper body) returned from long-term injured reserve Saturday, which was believed to be the end of Evans' run in a prominent role. Instead, head coach Dan Bylsma tinkered with all of his defensive pairings, putting Evans alongside Brandon Montour on the second pair and moving Jamie Oleksiak down to the third pair alongside Will Borgen. This is a huge vote of confidence in Evans' play, and it's well-earned -- he has five helpers over the last four games and a total of 16 points, 30 shots on net, 40 hits and 42 blocked shots across 25 outings this season. Evans also maintained a spot on the second power-play unit, so it looks like he'll retain decent fantasy value for a while.

Brandon Montour - Snags helper in lossMontour recorded an assist, seven shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
ImpactMontour helped out on a Jared McCann tally in the third period. In November, Montour posted seven points and 53 shots on net over 14 appearances. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 16 points, 86 shots on net, 36 hits, 28 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 24 contests overall. He's providing high-end offense and well-rounded production for a blueliner, so he should be in the lineup regularly for most fantasy formats.

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Riding five-game point streakBjorkstrand posted an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
ImpactBjorkstrand has two goals and four assists during his five-game point streak. He got shuffled up to a line with Matty Beniers and Jaden Schwartz in this contest, with the trio combining for the Kraken's first goal. Bjorkstrand has 14 points, 55 shots, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating across 24 appearances, making him one of the team's steadiest scorers in 2024-25, though not at the same level that saw him rack up 59 points in 2023-24.

Matty Beniers - Ends slump with helperBeniers posted an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.
ImpactBeniers had gone seven games without a point entering Saturday. He ended the drought when he set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the second period. Beniers hasn't found much consistency on offense outside of a four-game point streak at the end of October. He's now at 11 points, 48 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-6 rating through 25 contests. The Kraken will likely keep juggling their lines until something clicks on offense, though that's not a guarantee it will spark Beniers' play individually.
