Brian Dumoulin - Gets on scoresheet with helperDumoulin notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactDumoulin 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.

Brandon Tanev - Plucks apple in winTanev notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactTanev 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.

Andre Burakovsky - Helps out on power playBurakovsky notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactBurakovsky has been eased back in since returning to the lineup Dec. 29. He's played on the fourth line and second power-play unit, picking up two points over four games. Burakovsky's got the talent to play higher in the lineup, but with the Kraken humming along, head coach Dave Hakstol likely won't change what's working. For the season, Burakovsky has five points, 18 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 contests after missing large chunks of time with two separate injuries.

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Puts up assistBjorkstrand notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
ImpactBjorkstrand helped out on Yanni Gourde's first-period tally. The 28-year-old Bjorkstrand is stuck in a five-game goal drought, but he's supplied three assists in that span. The All-Star winger is up to 30 points, 106 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-1 rating over 40 appearances, a pace that has him tracking toward a career year.
