Brandon Montour - Earns assist in overtime win Montour notched an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Montour set up Jordan Eberle for the game-winning goal 48 seconds into the extra session. Through six contests, Montour has a goal, three assists, 25 shots on net, nine hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. The 30-year-old defenseman saw a season-high 26:02 of ice time Saturday, and he continues to cement himself as an important part of the Kraken's play in all three zones.

Jordan Eberle - Stays hot with game-winning goal Eberle scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Eberle made good on a patient pass from Brandon Montour, tallying 48 seconds into overtime to secure the Kraken's third straight win. Eberle has scored all of his goals in Seattle wins so far, and he's up to five tallies, two assists, nine shots on net and a plus-4 rating across six contests. The winger can't keep up such a lofty scoring pace, but he's looking much more intimidating with the puck than he did in a 17-goal, 44-point effort over 78 appearances in 2023-24.

Chandler Stephenson - Ties game on power play Stephenson scored a power-play goal and won 18 of 26 faceoffs in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Stephenson saw 23:28 of ice time in the contest, and he continues to look like one of the Kraken's most trusted forwards. He started slowly on offense, but he now has four points over his last three outings, including his first goal of the season in this game. The 30-year-old has added just three shots on net, a minus-1 rating, one hit and no blocked shots. Stephenson sees time in all situations, but if he can't bring back a bit of physical play, his fantasy value will be tied solely to his offense while playing for a team that tends to spread out the scoring.

Joey Daccord - Douses Flames for overtime win Daccord stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Daccord remains undefeated this season, and he did so by taking out the previously unbeaten Flames in a tight game. The 28-year-old goalie has allowed eight goals on 94 shots so far. The Kraken are finding success by alternating Daccord and Phillip Grubauer for starts -- if that pattern holds, Grubauer would start against the Avalanche on Tuesday while Daccord would face another currently unbeaten team, the Jets, on Thursday.

OCTOBER 20 • NHL.COM

Joey Daccord - Set to start Saturday Daccord was the first goaltender off the ice at the morning skate, per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times, indicating he will patrol the home crease Saturday against Calgary.

Impact Daccord is coming off a 30-save performance in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over Nashville. He has stopped 64 of 71 shots en route to a 2-0-0 record this season. Calgary has four straight wins to open the 2024-25 campaign while producing 19 goals.

Vince Dunn - Unavailable Saturday Dunn (undisclosed) won't play against the Flames on Saturday, the SoundofHockey.com reports.

Impact Coach Dan Bylsma said Saturday that Dunn is still being evaluated. He was injured Thursday versus the Flyers and missed the third period. Dunn has a goal and two assists with 10 blocked shots in four appearances this season. Look for Ryker Evans to replace him on the second power play while Josh Mahura draws into the lineup on the third defense pairing.

Vince Dunn - Downgraded to day-to-day Dunn is considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's game versus the Flames, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.

Impact Dunn was held out for what was initially considered precautionary reasons in the third period of Thursday's win over the Flyers. At this point, the 27-year-old is likely heading toward being a game-time decision Saturday. If Dunn can't play, Ryker Evans would take his top-four spot while Josh Mahura would draw into the lineup.

Adam Larsson - Slides helper in win Larsson posted an assist and five blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Larsson has earned all three of his points this season over the last two games, a span in which the Kraken have 13 goals as a team. The 31-year-old defenseman has been able to see a slightly smaller workload so far, averaging 21:15 of ice time per game thanks to the defensive work of the Brandon Montour-Jamie Oleksiak pairing. In addition to his three points, Larsson has seven shots on net, eight hits, 14 blocked shots and four PIM this season.

Yanni Gourde - Garners helper Thursday Gourde notched an assist and five PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Gourde helped out on a Jordan Eberle tally in the second period. Through five contests, Gourde has contributed three helpers, two shots on net, five hits and 12 PIM -- he's already fought twice this season. The 32-year-old's opportunities on offense could be limited in a fourth-line role, but that's not as much of a problem when the Kraken have scored 20 goals over their five games while getting contributions all over the lineup.

Ryker Evans - Nabs assist in win Evans logged an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-5 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Evans impressed on the defensive side of things, especially after Vince Dunn had his minutes managed in the third period. Through five games, Evans has a goal, three assists, seven shots on net, six blocked shots, six hits and a plus-5 rating over five contests. If Dunn misses any additional time with the lingering effects of an upper-body injury he sustained last weekend, Evans would jump into a top-four role. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should already have Evans stashed, and if he can keep his offense up, he'll draw some appeal in redraft formats as well.

Jaden Schwartz - Hands out helper in win Schwartz produced an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Schwartz set up an Oliver Bjorkstrand tally in the third period that helped the Kraken fend off the Flyers' comeback effort. The helper was Schwartz's third point of the season, all of which he's earned in the last two games. The veteran winger has added five shots on net, five hits and eight PIM while filling a middle-six role with power-play time.

Chandler Stephenson - Adds assist Thursday Stephenson produced an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Stephenson has three helpers over his last two games after beginning his Kraken year with no points over three contests. The 30-year-old found the team's other big free-agent signing, Brandon Montour, for Seattle's first goal Thursday. Stephenson has three assists, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating through five contests. Over time, he should be a factor on the power play while providing steady two-way play and a pass-first mentality down the middle.

Vince Dunn - Held out late Thursday Dunn didn't play in the third period of Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers, but Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports that was for precautionary reasons.

Impact After the game, Dunn was present in the locker room, further supporting the notion that his absence is nothing to worry about at this time. The defenseman missed a game Sunday in Dallas with an upper-body injury sustained versus the Wild last Saturday. In 13:10 of ice time, Dunn put up an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's game, giving him three points, 10 blocks and a minus-2 rating over four contests this season. For now, it's safe to assume Dunn will be in the lineup Saturday versus the Flames -- if his status downgrades over the next couple of days, look for Ryker Evans to again move up the lineup while Josh Mahura would draw in on the third pairing.

Andre Burakovsky - Dishes pair of helpers Burakovsky notched two assists and four shots on goal in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Burakovsky has produced two assists on two occasions this season, but he doesn't have points in any of his other three games. The 29-year-old winger has added nine shots on net and a minus-1 rating over five appearances. Burakovsky is playing alongside Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen at even strength, and that trio has gotten off to an uneven start compared to some of their teammates. After an injury-riddled 2023-24, Burakovsky will need to prove himself both with health and with offense before he can be trusted as a depth forward in fantasy.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Eeli Tolvanen - Scores in Thursday's win Tolvanen scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Tolvanen has scored twice over five games this season. He's regained a power-play role after beginning the year without one, which should help his offense over time. He has added six shots on net, eight hits and seven blocked shots. Tolvanen's a decent two-way winger, and while he can provide some category coverage with hits, shots and blocks, he needs to show more offense to be trusted in fantasy.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Pads lead with goal Bjorkstrand scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact The Flyers attempted a comeback in the third period, but Bjorkstrand's goal took the wind out of their sails. The 29-year-old winger had a quiet start to the season, but he's earned three points over his last two contests. He's added 14 shots on net, five hits and a plus-1 rating over five games. Bjorkstrand is expected to fill a middle-six role for much of the season.
