Kraken bring win streak into game against the Blue Jackets
The Seattle Kraken look to keep an eight-game win streak intact when they play the Columbus Blue JacketsJANUARY 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jared McCann - Snaps slump with helper McCann provided an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact McCann ended a four-game point drought with a helper on Tye Kartye's goal. The rest of the Kraken's experiment with McCann at center didn't go all that well -- he won just three of his 10 faceoffs. The 27-year-old has primarily played as a winger since joining Seattle in 2021-22. This season, he has 23 points, 98 shots on net and a minus-12 rating through 40 appearances, a drop in production from last year's 70-point effort. He is currently toiling on the fourth line and may not have a path back to the top six unless there's an injury or a team-wide slump.

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Reaches 20-helper mark Bjorkstrand notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Bjorkstrand has helpers in consecutive contests, and he's earned four assists during his six-game goal drought. The winger reached the 20-assist mark for the fourth straight campaign, doing so in a mere 41 outings this year. He's added 11 goals, 108 shots on net, 28 hits and an even plus-minus rating as a fixture on the Kraken's third line.

Eeli Tolvanen - Lends assist in win Tolvanen posted an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Tolvanen set up a Justin Schultz tally in the second period. The assist extended Tolvanen's point streak to four games (one goal, five helpers). The winger is up to 27 points through 41 outings this season, matching his production from 48 contests with Seattle last season after he was claimed on waivers from Nashville. The 24-year-old has added 82 shots on net, 84 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in 2023-24, putting him on his way to a career year in a variety of areas.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Schwartz - Produces assist in win Schwartz notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Schwartz helped out on an Adam Larsson insurance marker in the third period. With three points over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury, Schwartz has been strong in a second-line role. The 31-year-old winger is up to 18 points, 55 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 25 appearances. If he continues to play in the top six and on the power play, Schwartz could be a solid second-half option in fantasy.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Tanev - Scoops up two helpers Tanev notched two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Tanev set up goals by Alexander Wennberg and Adam Larsson in this contest. With three helpers over his last two games, Tanev is helping his case to maintain his spot on the second line with the Kraken near full strength at forward. The 32-year-old winger has seven points, 27 shots on net, 39 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season, so he's likely not an option in most fantasy formats.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Tye Kartye - Opens scoring in win Kartye scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Kartye snapped a nine-game goal drought with the tally. The 22-year-old had been deployed as the fourth-line center in recent weeks, but Jared McCann was in that spot Thursday with Kartye on his wing. For the season, Kartye has seven goals, six assists, 70 shots on net, 68 hits, 27 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 40 appearances. With the Kraken missing only Pierre-Edouard Bellemare from their forward group, Kartye may still be at risk of getting scratched to prevent any one player spending an extended stretch in the press box.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Schultz - Buries goal Thursday Schultz scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Schultz has two goals on 11 shots over his last five contests. His tally late in the second period Thursday stretched the Kraken's lead to 3-1. The defenseman is up to four goals, 11 points, 53 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 33 appearances. He could be at risk of losing playing time during the road trip if head coach Dave Hakstol wants to get Ryker Evans into the lineup.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Wennberg - Finds twine in win Wennberg scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Wennberg scored for the second game in a row and for the third time in six contests. The center's first-period marker held as the game-winner, his third such goal this season. The 29-year-old is up to seven tallies, 17 points, 58 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. He's not much of a shooter, instead relying on playmaking and defense to maintain his top-six role, so his recent uptick in goals is unlikely to last.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Larsson - One of each Thursday Larsson scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-2 and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
Impact Larsson reached the 10-assist mark for the year on Tye Kartye's first-period marker. In the third, Larsson scored a goal of his own to produce the final score. The defenseman has four points over his last six outings and is now at 13 points, 73 shots on net, 78 blocked shots, 71 hits and a plus-1 rating through 41 contests overall.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Daccord - Stellar again in win Daccord stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Capitals.
Impact Max Pacioretty's second-period goal was the lone mark against Daccord on Thursday, as the 27-year-old netminder picked up his seventh straight win -- he's held opponents to two goals or fewer in each outing, sporting a sparkling .966 save percentage in that span. Daccord is now 12-5-8 with a .925 save percentage and 2.23 GAA this season. He'll likely be back in net Saturday when the Kraken visit Columbus, and figures to have locked down the starting job even when Philipp Grubauer (lower body) is able to return.

Joey Daccord - Going for seventh straight win Daccord will be in the visiting crease in Washington on Thursday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Impact Daccord has won six straight games and has started in 12 of the Kraken's last 13 games. He has been extremely sharp during his winning streak, allowing only seven goals on 211 shots. Daccord has a good chance of extending his streak to seven games, as the Capitals have had trouble scoring this season, ranking 30th in the NHL, averaging just 2.39 goals per game.

Brian Dumoulin - Gets on scoresheet with helper Dumoulin notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Dumoulin snapped an eight-game point drought with his helper. The 32-year-old has seen steady time on the third pairing this season, but he's likely on notice with Ryker Evans accompanying the Kraken on their current road trip. Dumoulin has produced seven points, 28 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 29 hits and a minus-1 rating over 39 outings this season.
JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Tanev - Plucks apple in win Tanev notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Impact Tanev assisted on Jaden Schwartz's second-period marker. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for Tanev, who has been occupying a second-line role in recent contests. The 32-year-old's grip on that spot should be considered tenuous -- he's produced a mere five points through 24 outings this season, and the recently returned Andre Burakovsky is a much more natural fit for the second line if head coach Dave Hakstol shuffles the lineup.
