Impact Burakovsky is already expected to be out until December, so this doesn't change his timeline. The Kraken will be able to call-up a forward to take Burakovsky's roster spot after this move.

Justin Schultz - Logs assist Monday Schultz recorded an assist, four blocked shots and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Impact Schultz earned his second point of the campaign when he set up his defense partner, Brian Dumoulin, on the opening goal. Despite the lack of offense, Schultz remains on the top power-play unit, though Vince Dunn has been more productive. Schultz is at one goal, one assist, 17 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating through 10 contests, playing primarily on the third pairing.

Eeli Tolvanen - Grabs power-play helper Tolvanen logged a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Impact Tolvanen helped out on a Kailer Yamamoto goal in the first period. This was Tolvanen's first power-play point of the campaign, as he's off to a bit of a slow start. All four of his points have come over the last six contests, but he remains in a third-line role. The Finn has at least maintained his physical play with 24 hits and 13 blocked shots across 10 outings this season.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Oliver Bjorkstrand - Hands out power-play assist Bjorkstrand notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Impact Head coach Dave Hakstol promoted Bjorkstrand to the top line Monday in an attempt to get centers Matty Beniers and Alexander Wennberg going. While that didn't work, Bjorkstrand was able to make noise on the power play, earning a helper on Jared McCann's tally in the extra session. Bjorkstrand has four points over his last four games, and he's up to two goals, six helpers, 20 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating through 10 contests this season.

Vince Dunn - Sets up game-winner Dunn registered a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.
Impact Dunn set up Jared McCann's game-winning tally in overtime. The helper ended a two-game mini-slump for Dunn. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to eight points (five on the power play), 16 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 10 contests. While he's been on the second power-play unit, the Kraken spread out the talent enough that both units generally get their looks.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Grubauer - Makes 34 saves in victory Grubauer kicked out 34 of 37 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact Grubauer got Seattle's last three contests off with Joey Daccord getting those starts instead. Grubauer has been underwhelming with a 1-4-0 record, 3.00 GAA and .901 save percentage in five games this season. Daccord's done better thus far, so -- even after Grubauer's win over the Lightning -- it wouldn't be surprising if the Kraken went back to Daccord for Thursday's home contest against Nashville.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brian Dumoulin - Scores first goal of season Dumoulin found the back of the net in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact It was Dumoulin's first goal and third point in 10 contests in 2023-24. His marker Monday put the Kraken on the board at 12:08 of the opening period. Dumoulin had a goal and 25 points in 82 contests last season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him decline offensively this year. He averaged 20:38 of ice time with Pittsburgh last year and received just 15:50 per contest through his first nine outings with Seattle this campaign.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kailer Yamamoto - Records two points Monday Yamamoto collected a goal and an assist in Seattle's 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact It was Yamamoto's first multi-point game of the campaign and brought him up to two goals and two assists through 10 appearances. The 25-year-old entered Monday's outing averaging just 11:15 of ice time this year and logged 11:36 versus the Lightning. On the plus side, Yamamoto has a regular role on the second power-play unit, which has led to him contributing two points with the man advantage in 2023-24. That will help him to make an occasional impact offensively throughout the campaign, but Yamamoto will probably need to secure a top-six role before he'll have a chance to be a regular contributor.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yanni Gourde - Scores goal vs. Lightning Gourde netted a goal in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact Gourde found the back of the net at 13:08 of the first period, extending the Kraken's lead to 2-0. It was his second goal and third point in 10 outings this year. Although Gourde had 64 points in 82 appearances in 2017-18, he hasn't reached the 50-point milestone since, and that's unlikely to change this season. The 31-year-old is serving in a middle-six capacity and doesn't consistently play with the man advantage.
OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jared McCann - Leads Kraken past Lightning McCann collected a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact McCann's marker was scored on the power play during overtime, making it his second game-winner of the campaign. He's up to five goals and seven points in 10 appearances this year. McCann had 40 goals last year, but there were questions if he could repeat that feat. His success in 2022-23 relied on his 19.0 shooting percentage, which was a significant jump from his previous career high of 15.3. By contrast, the 27-year-old has a 15.2 shooting percentage this campaign, and his success is linked to him firing the puck a lot more -- an average of 3.30 shots per game, up from 2.66 last year. If he can continue to be that aggressive with the puck, then McCann should have another big offensive season.

Jaden Schwartz - Picks up two helpers Monday Schwartz registered two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.
Impact Schwartz is up to eight points -- including four goals -- through 10 outings this season. He's been particularly hot lately, contributing at least a point in each of his last four contests, giving him two goals and six points in that span. Schwartz is serving in a top-six role and getting power-play ice time, but he's unlikely to maintain his current offensive pace. The 31-year-old finished 2022-23 with a somewhat modest 40 points in 71 appearances despite serving in a similar capacity.

Philipp Grubauer - Tending twine Monday Grubauer will defend the road cage against Tampa Bay on Monday, per Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times.
Impact Grubauer is still looking for his first win of the season after posting an 0-4-0 record and .896 save percentage through his first four appearances. With Grubauer struggling, Joey Daccord has started the last three games but hasn't fared significantly better with a 1-1-1 record and 3.20 GAA. Grubauer is going to need to start putting together some victories if he is going to avoid being demoted to the No. 2 option.

Yanni Gourde - Pockets assist in loss Gourde notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
Impact The helper was just his second point of the season, though Gourde earns his paycheck with far more than just offense. The 31-year-old forward has added 15 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and 16 PIM over nine contests. He'll likely continue to handle the toughest defensive assignments, and while the results haven't shown on the scoresheet, he's looked solid with Eeli Tolvanen and Jared McCann as his wingers in recent games.
