Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev to be sidelined for at least a month with lower body injury
The Seattle Kraken will be without Brandon Tanev for at least a month after the forward sustained a lower body injury in last week's season opener against VegasOCTOBER 16, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brandon Tanev - Sidelined 4-6 weeks Tanev (upper body) will be out of action for 4-6 weeks, the club announced Monday.
Impact Tanev will almost certainly be designated for injured reserve in the coming days given his lengthy recovery timeline. It's a huge blow for the 31-year-old winger who played in all 82 games last season in which he recorded 16 goals and 19 assists, both career highs. Tye Kartye has thus far replaced Tanev in the bottom six but is averaging just 8:13 of ice time per game and could be replaced by alternative AHL options.

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Nabs helper in shootout loss Bjorkstrand recorded a power-play assist in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blues.
Impact Offense has been limited for the Kraken, who have just two goals through three games as a team. Bjorkstrand's helper was his first point of the season, and he's added seven shots on goal, though he had none in Saturday's loss. He continues to work on the third line and second power-play unit for now, though head coach Dave Hakstol may soon consider shuffling lines due to his team's lack of scoring.

Vince Dunn - Gets power-play helper Dunn registered a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blues.
Impact The helper was Dunn's first point in three games this season, though it hasn't helped that the Kraken have just two goals on the year. The defenseman had a plus-28 rating last season, but he's already minus-5 in 2023-24. On the positive side, he's fired six shots on goal and added two hits, though he also has six PIM. Dunn continues to see first-pairing minutes at even strength, but Justin Schultz has quarterbacked the top power-play unit so far.

Jaden Schwartz - Nets goal Saturday Schwartz provided a goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to St. Louis on Saturday.
Impact Schwartz scored early in the second period to give the Kraken a 1-0 lead, but Seattle couldn't maintain that edge. It was his first goal and point in three contests this season. He had 21 goals and 40 points in 71 outings in 2022-23.

Joey Daccord - Loses in shootout to Blues Daccord kicked out 24 of 25 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to St. Louis on Saturday.
Impact Daccord allowed one goal in three shootout rounds. He was making his first start of the campaign after Philipp Grubauer posted a 0-2-0 record while stopping 56 of 61 over Seattle's opening two contests. Seattle will probably go back to Grubauer on Tuesday versus Colorado.

Joey Daccord - Facing Blues Daccord was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, indicating he will defend the visiting goal against the Blues on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Impact Daccord has been on the bench during the Kraken's first two games of the season, as Philipp Grubauer has given up five goals on 61 shots in losses to Vegas and Nashville. Daccord was 2-1-1 with a 3.15 GAA and .900 save percentage last season in limited NHL action.

Philipp Grubauer - Solid in loss Grubauer allowed two goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Predators. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Impact Grubauer turned in a solid performance, but he received no help from his offense. The first goal against him was on a shorthanded breakaway, and the second goal was deflected off a crowd in front. Grubauer has allowed five goals on 61 shots over his first two games this season, but the Kraken have scored just once. If he can keep his performance steady, he'll give Seattle a chance to win more often than he has in his first two years with the team. The Kraken's road trip concludes Saturday in St. Louis.
