Facing Golden Knights Daccord was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and will defend the home crease versus Vegas on Friday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Impact Daccord is 4-3-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .915 save percentage in eight appearances this season. The 28-year-old netminder was perfect in his only game against the Golden Knights last season, turning aside all 35 shots in a 3-0 win Jan. 1.

Called up Thursday Stezka was called up from AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday.

Impact Philipp Grubauer is dealing with a minor injury after an accident at his home, so Stezka will fill in as backup in the short term. Stezka has struggled in the AHL this season, going 1-5-0 with a 3.61 GAA and an .881 save percentage over six games.

Might resume skating soon Dunn (upper body) might start skating in the next few days, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Impact Dunn isn't eligible to be activated off long-term injured reserve until Nov. 12, and coach Dan Bylsma believes there's a chance the 28-year-old forward will be ready to play by that date. Dunn has a goal and three points in four appearances in 2023-24. When he's healthy, Dunn will likely serve in a top-six capacity and feature on the first power-play unit.

Day-to-day with undisclosed injury Grubauer had an accident while at home. While he's not seriously injured, he is considered day-to-day, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports Thursday.

Impact Grubauer has a 1-5-0 record, 3.27 GAA and .877 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. Joey Daccord might start at home against Vegas on Friday regardless of Grubauer's availability, but if Grubauer isn't able to serve as the backup, then Ales Stezka or Niklas Kokko would likely be recalled from AHL Coachella Valley to serve as Daccord's understudy.

Reassigned to minors Winterton was demoted to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Winterton's demotion comes after the 21-year-old made his season debut versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, registering three hits, one block and a minus-3 rating in 9:28 of ice time. With the team not back in action until Friday's matchup with Vegas, Winterton was joined by Cale Fleury and John Hayden in heading down to the minors -- at least for the time being.

Reassigned to AHL Fleury was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Fleury has no points, four hits and three blocks in two appearances with Seattle in 2024-25. Seattle doesn't play again until Friday's tilt versus Vegas, so it's possible the Kraken will recall him before their next game.

Headed back to minors Hayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Hayden, along with Cale Fleury and Ryan Winterton, was returned to the minors Wednesday. The moves are likely a cap-saving measure with the Kraken not back in action until Friday's clash with the Golden Knights. Looks for Seattle to bring back one or all three players prior to puck drop Friday.

Contributes helper Evans logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Evans was dropped from the first pairing Tuesday, but he still saw 18:20 of ice time in a third-pairing role. The 22-year-old has a goal and two assists over his last five contests. Evans is up to eight points, 20 shots on net, 22 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 contests. He had nine points in 36 games in 2023-24, so he's clearly taken a step forward as he tries to establish himself as a full-time NHL player.

Pockets helper in loss Montour notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact The helper was Montour's first point in three games since he returned to the team following a one-game absence for the birth of his daughter. Montour set up Matty Beniers' third-period tally. Through 13 appearances this season, Montour has four goals, six assists, 44 shots on net, 23 hits, 15 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-3 rating. He was on the top pairing Tuesday, but he should be a strong source of all-around production in fantasy regardless of his placement in the lineup.

Deals power-play helper Stephenson recorded a power-play assist and added two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Stephenson has five helpers over his last eight games, though four of them came in the Kraken's 8-2 win over the Canadiens on Oct. 29. The 30-year-old center remains a key part of the team's top six, but he's had trouble making an impact with Seattle's lack of scoring recently. Overall, Stephenson is up to nine points (five on the power play), nine shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 14 contests.

Tallies in Tuesday's loss Schwartz scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Schwartz snapped a three-game point drought when he scored in the first period. The winger had gotten on the scoresheet just once in the previous seven contests, but that was a three-point effort. He's up to three goals, five assists, 19 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating through 14 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Two points on birthday Beniers scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Beniers celebrated his 22nd birthday with a two-point effort, his second multi-point effort of the campaign. After a cold start, the center has eight points over his last seven outings. He's collected three goals, six helpers, 27 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 14 contests this season, and he's maintained a top-six role even when his offense has been lacking.

Two points in 600th career game McCann scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact McCann's offense had gone cold along with the rest of the Kraken -- they had just one goal over the previous three games. The 28-year-old was able to pick up his sixth multi-point effort of the season despite the loss. He's been one of the team's better forwards with six goals, 10 assists, 31 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 14 appearances in a top-six role.

Loses third straight start Grubauer allowed five goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Grubauer has been losing playing time lately, and he didn't do anything to help his cause in this game. This was his third straight loss, and the five goals allowed were a season high for the 32-year-old netminder. He's now 1-5-0 with a 3.27 GAA and an .877 save percentage over six games. After a 1-4-0 road trip for the Kraken, the crease could be up for grabs again, and it could turn into a situation where the hot hand between Grubauer and Joey Daccord ends up claiming the starting job.

Set to start Tuesday Grubauer is expected to start on the road against Colorado on Tuesday, per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com.

Impact Grubauer has a record of 1-4-0 with a 2.90 GAA and an .886 save percentage in five contests. He had an amazing season with the Avalanche in 2020-21 in which he posted a 30-9-1 record, 1.95 GAA and .922 save percentage, but he's finished with a save percentage below .900 in each regular season since that campaign. The Avalanche are off to a rough start this year with a 5-7-0 record, but they still rank a decent 12th offensively with 3.33 goals per game, so Colorado is capable of challenging its former goaltender.

Impact Winterton has recorded three goals and two assists through seven games with the Firebirds this season. The right-shot forward appeared in nine NHL games with Seattle in 2023-24, and he could make his season debut at some point given the Kraken's slow start (5-7-1) to the campaign.
