Andre Burakovsky - Good to play Thursday Burakovsky (lower body) will draw into the lineup Thursday versus Edmonton, per the NHL media site.
Impact Burakovsky missed Seattle's previous two contests because of the injury. He has a goal and five points in 13 outings in 2023-24. Burakovsky's return will result in John Hayden being a healthy scratch Thursday.

Joey Daccord - Slated to face Oilers Daccord is expected to start on the road against Edmonton on Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Daccord has a 13-6-8 record, 2.28 GAA and .923 save percentage in 28 contests this season. He's been fantastic since the start of December, posting a 1.75 GAA and a .943 save percentage over 16 appearances. However, Edmonton figures to be a difficult adversary -- the Oilers rank fifth offensively this campaign with 3.50 goals per game.

Andre Burakovsky - Game-time decision Thursday Burakovsky (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus Edmonton on Thursday, Piper Shaw of Root Sports reports.
Impact Burakovsky has missed the last two games after getting hurt in the opening period in Columbus on Saturday. Burakovsky has played only 13 games this season. He missed 20 games with an upper-body injury suffered Oct. 21 before missing nine games with an undisclosed injury a month ago. Look for Burakovsky to return to a top-six role when he finally gets healthy.

Vince Dunn - Not playing Thursday Dunn (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup versus Edmonton on Thursday, according to Piper Shaw of Root Sports.
Impact Dunn was been one of the biggest surprises of last season, as the defenseman had 14 goals and 64 points in 81 games. He has been just as good this season, scoring eight times while adding 27 assists in 42 contests, including four goals and 13 points on the power play. Ryker Evans has taken over quarterbacking the power play since Dunn's absence two games ago.

Justin Schultz - Adds power-play assist Schultz notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Schultz has stepped up lately with a goal and three assists over his last four games. He remains on the third pairing even with Vince Dunn (undisclosed) unavailable. Schultz's power-play role gives him a slight boost in value -- he's earned five of his 14 points this season with the man advantage. The defenseman has added 56 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 36 outings.

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Supplies power-play helper Bjorkstrand posted a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Bjorkstrand has racked up a goal and five assists over his last five games, including a pair of power-play points in that span. The 28-year-old winger is up to 35 points (14 on the power play), 119 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 44 appearances. He's on track for a career year while shooting a sustainable 10.1 percent, so fantasy managers should be able to rely on him in the second half.

Jared McCann - Two PP points Tuesday McCann scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Impact The 27-year-old has found a groove in January, racking up three goals and six points over the last four games. That comes on the heels of an 11-game stretch in which McCann produced just one goal and four points, however. On the season, the streaky winger has contributed 17 goals and 28 points in 43 contests, putting him on pace to top 30 goals for the second straight campaign after he erupted for a career-high 40 in 2022-23.
JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Eberle - Two points in Tuesday's loss Eberle produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Impact The Kraken weren't able to solve Igor Shesterkin at even strength, but Eberle got them on the board midway through the first period on a 3-on-2 rush. The veteran winger has two multi-point performances in the last six games, but he hasn't found the scoresheet in consecutive games since before Christmas. On the season, Eberle has managed six goals and 21 points in 40 contests.
JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Driedger - Bounced by Blueshirts Driedger turned aside 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Impact New York's final goal was scored into an empty net. Seattle never led in the game, and a Vincent Trocheck power-play tally midway through the first period on which he was left all alone at Driedger's back door for a tap-in set the tone. It was the 29-year-old netminder's first action since Dec. 27, and while the final result was mostly out of Driedger's hands, he'll likely continue to cede most of the work in the Kraken's crease to Joey Daccord.

Philipp Grubauer - Moves to LTIR Grubauer (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Impact Grubauer, who hasn't played since Dec. 9, is eligible to be activated whenever he receives clearance to return. However, it remains unclear when he will be ready to play. Grubauer has a 5-9-1 record with a 3.25 GAA and an .884 save percentage in 17 appearances this season. Joey Daccord has arguably become Seattle's undisputed No. 1 netminder during Grubauer's absence.

Chris Driedger - Starting against Rangers Driedger will guard the road goal Tuesday against the Rangers, per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times.
Impact Driedger, who will make his second NHL start of the season, will get the second half of Seattle's back-to-back after Joey Daccord played in Monday's 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh. The 29-year-old Driedger made 37 saves in a 2-1 win over Calgary on Dec. 27 in his first NHL outing of 2023-24. The Rangers rank 14th in the league this campaign with 3.26 goals per contest.

Adam Larsson - Good to go Larsson (illness) will play Tuesday versus the Rangers, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Larsson, who has played in 311 consecutive contests, will get to keep his streak going despite leaving Monday's 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh early. He has produced three goals, 14 points, 75 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and 72 hits across 43 games this campaign.
