Eeli Tolvanen - Three-point effort in win Tolvanen scored a goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Tolvanen opened the scoring at 7:50 of the first period and then set up goals by Oliver Bjorkstrand and Matty Beniers in the second. That trio of forwards played on a line together Tuesday, and the chemistry is encouraging, even against the lowly Ducks. Tolvanen has 16 goals, 39 points, 145 shots on net, 179 hits, 70 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 71 appearances. He's earned seven of those points over 12 contests in March.

Matty Beniers - Racks up three points Beniers scored a goal on two shots, dished two assists, went plus-2 and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact Beniers helped out on goals by Eeli Tolvanen and Oliver Bjorkstrand before scoring one of his own. Those three forwards made up a new-look top line. This was Beniers' first multi-point effort since Feb. 15 in Boston, and he now has 11 goals, 31 points (nine on the power play), 116 shots on net, 46 hits and a minus-8 rating through 66 appearances.

Joey Daccord - Easy work in shutout win Daccord posted a 12-save shutout in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

Impact The Kraken's remodeled top line did the heavy lifting, and the 12 shots that got through to Daccord represented the lowest total the Kraken have ever given up in a game. The 27-year-old earned his third shutout of the year in the process, improving to 18-15-11 while snapping a personal four-game skid. He's added a 2.42 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 46 contests. The Kraken have alternated goalies for much of March, but Daccord may get the nod again Thursday in a rematch with the Ducks.

Ryker Evans - Out with lower-body issue Evans (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Anaheim, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Evans is considered day-to-day with his lower-body injury, so he likely won't be sidelined for long. The 22-year-old rookie has picked up eight points, five of which have come on the power play, through 25 contests this season.

Vince Dunn - Still sidelined Dunn (upper body) remains day-to-day and won't play Tuesday against Anaheim, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Dunn will miss a 10th straight game Tuesday, but the fact that he's now considered day-to-day suggests he could be ready to return sooner rather than later. Justin Schultz will likely continue to skate on the No. 1 power-play unit until Dunn, who's racked up 45 points through 57 contests this season, is ready to return.

Daccord made 32 stops in a 3-2 win over the Ducks on Dec. 23. Anaheim sits 30th in the league this season with 2.48 goals per contest.

Ryker Evans - Deemed day-to-day Evans (lower body) is considered day-to-day, according to Scott Malone of Root Sports.

Impact Evans didn't practice Monday after getting injured in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Montreal. It's unclear at this time if he will be available to play Tuesday versus Anaheim. Evans has eight points, 30 shots on goal, 24 blocked shots and 39 hits in 25 NHL outings this season. With Vince Dunn (upper body) still on the mend, Seattle may need to bring up an additional defenseman.

Jamie Oleksiak - Gathers helper in loss Oleksiak logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Oleksiak snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old defenseman is up to 11 points, 96 shots on net, 104 hits, 153 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 70 appearances. While his offense is lower than it's been in four years, he's still seeing second-pairing minutes as a shutdown defender.

Will Borgen - Posts assist in loss Borgen notched an assist, six shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact The Kraken have scored just seven goals over their last six games, so depth players like Borgen have had few chances to get involved on offense. He set up a Jordan Eberle tally in the second period of this contest. Borgen has two helpers through 11 outings in March, but he's been solid this season with 24 points, 78 shots on net, 172 hits, 95 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 70 appearances.

Joey Daccord - Enters game in relief Daccord allowed just one goal on 11 shots after entering the game in relief of Philipp Grubauer during Sunday's 5-1 loss to Montreal.

Impact Daccord entered the game late in the first period after Philipp Grubauer allowed four goals on six shots. Daccord did his part, but, despite taking 37 shots to Montreal's 17, the Seattle offense couldn't get the job done. Seattle goaltenders might be best left alone by fantasy managers right now. It's hard to know what you'll get. Daccord has had good starts, but in his last seven starts, he has also posted save percentages of .250, .692, and .875.

Philipp Grubauer - Allows four goals on six shots Grubauer got the start on Sunday and allowed four goals on six shots before being pulled in a 5-1 loss to Montreal.

Impact Grubauer didn't even make it out of the first period. He allowed goals on the first two shots he faced and posted an ugly.333 save percentage after allowing four goals in the opening frame. In his last start, he stopped 34 of 36 shots against Vegas. However, he allowed 11 goals in the three starts before that, never reaching a .900 save percentage in any of those games. Grubauer has been a roller coaster, and riding along can be nerve-wracking.
