Vince Dunn - On five-game assist streak Dunn recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders.

Impact Dunn has six helpers during his five-game streak. The 27-year-old defenseman has picked up three power-play assists in that span -- he continues to get the job done with the man advantage and at even strength. He's now at 16 points (two goals, 14 assists) with 35 shots on net, 33 PIM, 14 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-9 rating through 18 appearances. Dunn should remain on the first pairing, and he continues to share quarterbacking duties with Justin Schultz with the man advantage.

Alexander Wennberg - Scores in back-to-back games Wennberg scored a goal on three shots in the Kraken's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday.

Impact Wennberg finished a pass from Oliver Bjorkstrand to beat Semyon Varlamov on the power play. This goal gives the Swedish forward goals in back-to-back games after he failed to score in his first 16 games. He is now on a three-game point streak and has two goals and six points on the season. Wennberg should continue to play on the second line and second power-play unit.

Matty Beniers - Scores in shootout win Beniers scored a goal on three shots in the Kraken's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday.

Impact Beniers sniped a shot past Semyon Varlamov on the power play to knot the game at 1-1. Beniers snapped a three-game pointless streak with this goal as he looks to get on track offensively. He has just two goals and eight points in 18 games after posting 24 goals in his rookie season. The American forward should continue to play on the top line and top power-play unit.

Kailer Yamamoto - One of each in victory Yamamoto scored a goal and an assist on one shot in the Kraken's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday.

The former Oiler has picked up his second multi-point game of the season as he snaps a seven-game point drought in the process. On the season, Yamamoto has three goals and six points in 18 games. The American forward should continue to operate on the fourth line and top power-play unit for the time being.

Philipp Grubauer - Picks up shootout win Grubauer stopped 21 of 24 shots in the Kraken's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday.

Impact Grubauer allowed a goal in each period with two of the goals coming on the power play. This game was Grubauer's first start since Nov 11 versus Edmonton where he was pulled and marks the sixth time in his last seven starts that he has allowed at least three goals. With both Grubauer and Joey Daccord struggling to start the season, Seattle should continue to run the hot hand in net. The German netminder's next start could come Saturday against Vancouver.

Impact Grubauer was chased from Saturday's loss to the Oilers after allowing four goals on 17 shots in the first period.

Impact The veteran center gave the Kraken a 3-1 lead late in the second period on a slick bit of stickwork, as Wennberg collected a pass to one side of the Edmonton net, skated out front of Stuart Skinner on his backhand and then spun to slide the puck past the goalie's outstretched leg. Wennberg is up to five points in 17 games to begin the year, not surprising for a player who hasn't reached even 40 points in a season since 2016-17.
