Cale Fleury - Dropped to AHL Fleury was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.
Impact Fleury had been serving as an emergency depth option during the absence of Vince Dunn, who returned to the lineup in Monday's 4-2 win over San Jose from an upper-body injury. With Dunn back in the fold, Fleury should remain in the AHL to see game action. The 25-year-old Fleury has six goals and 32 points in 60 minor-league outings this season.

Vince Dunn - Grabs apple in return Dunn picked up an assist, fired two shots on goal and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Dunn helped out on Jared McCann's empty-netter in the third period. This was Dunn's first game since March 4 -- he missed 12 contests due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old defenseman should see top-pairing minutes and plenty of power-play time to close out the campaign. He has 46 points, 120 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances this season.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Eberle - Picks up 700th career point Eberle logged an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Eberle continues to check off milestones -- he's now joined the 700-point club in his career just two games after earning his 400th assist. The 33-year-old winger is at 17 goals, 25 helpers, 155 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 70 outings this season. He has four points over his last five games. Eberle needs one more goal to reach 300 in his career.

Jaden Schwartz - Provides pair of assists Schwartz notched two assists and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Schwartz earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 9. He helped out on goals by Shane Wright and Jared McCann in this contest. Schwartz has five points over seven outings since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger is at 28 points, 108 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-12 rating through 54 contests overall.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Eeli Tolvanen - Earns two assists in win Tolvanen notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Tolvanen has been boom or bust lately with three multi-point effort and five scoreless outings over his last eight games. The 24-year-old helped out on goals by linemates Matty Beniers and Oliver Bjorkstrand in the first period. Tolvanen's inconsistency of late shouldn't detract from his career year of 41 points, 147 shots on net, 191 hits, 73 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 74 appearances.

Shane Wright - Tallies game-winner Monday Wright scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact The kid gloves came off for Wright in this one -- he was plopped right onto the second line between Jared McCann and Jaden Schwartz. The 20-year-old Wright's goal, his first point in four NHL appearances this season, was the game-winner. He also won 10 of 18 faceoffs over 15:14 of ice time. The Kraken appear set to give some of their best prospects a taste of the NHL down the stretch before sending them back to the AHL for Coachella Valley's playoff run.

Matty Beniers - Strikes early Monday Beniers scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Beniers is warming up again with three goals and two helpers over his last four contests. His goal Monday came just 29 seconds into the game. The 21-year-old center is at 13 tallies, 33 points, 122 shots on net, 48 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 69 appearances. Beniers hasn't posted a point streak longer than three games all season, a fact that has made it tough for him to shake off the sophomore slump.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jared McCann - Fills empty cage McCann scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact McCann was surging toward another lofty goal total prior to his recent 11-game goal drought, during which he had six assists. The 27-year-old broke the slump with a late empty-netter Monday. He's now at 28 goals, 59 points, 193 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 73 appearances. It's not quite at the 40-goal, 70-point level he showed in 2022-23, but it's still production worthy of a top-six forward.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Oliver Bjorkstrand - Secures 20-goal campaign Bjorkstrand scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact The Kraken's top line was cooking to begin the game -- Bjorkstrand set up Matty Beniers' goal 29 seconds in before scoring one of his own midway through the first period. That goal was Bjorkstrand's 20th of the year, making this the fifth season in the last six years he's reached that mark. The winger has added 32 helpers, 175 shots on net, 64 hits and a minus-22 rating over 74 appearances. He had gone 24 games without a multi-point effort prior to Monday, picking up a modest 10 points in that span.
APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Grubauer - Wins second straight start Grubauer stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Grubauer has cashed in on a couple of favorable matchups recently, winning against the Ducks and Sharks in his last two starts. The 32-year-old had lost four of his previous five outings prior to this improved run. He's at 12-13-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 31 contests overall. The Kraken have been alternating starts with their goalies, so that would line up Joey Daccord for Wednesday's game in Los Angeles, while Grubauer is tentatively projected to face the Ducks on Friday.

Vince Dunn - Suiting up Monday Dunn (upper body) is in Monday's lineup against the Sharks, per the NHL's media site.
Impact Dunn will be back in action for the first time since March 4 after missing the last 12 games. The 27-year-old blueliner has 11 goals and 45 points though 57 appearances this season. He'll slot back into his usual top-four role Monday.

Philipp Grubauer - Tending twine Monday Grubauer will get the starting nod in San Jose on Monday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Grubauer snapped a four-game losing skid in his last outing, stopping 21 of 23 shots in a win over Anaheim. The 32-year-old went 2-4-1 with an .893 save percentage in eight March appearances. On the year, Grubauer is 11-13-2 with a 2.93 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 30 contests.

Vince Dunn - Game-time decision Monday Dunn (upper body) will be a game-time call ahead of Monday's clash with San Jose, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.
Impact Dunn looks close to getting back into the lineup after missing the previous 12 games with an upper-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner notched points in six of his last seven outings for a combined three goals and three helpers. If Dunn does play Monday, it would likely mean Ryker Evans gets dropped from the lineup.

Cale Fleury - Back with big club Fleury was promoted from AHL Coachella Valley on Monday.
Impact Although he's been recalled, at this point it isn't clear if Fleury will draw into the lineup for Monday's game versus San Jose. He has yet to appear in an NHL contest in 2023-24.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Shane Wright - Recalled Sunday Wright was promoted from AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday.
Impact Wright has been held scoreless in three NHL games this season and hasn't dressed for Seattle since Nov. 13. The 20-year-old has 20 goals and 43 points through 56 AHL games this season.
