Yanni Gourde - Pockets assist in lossGourde notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
ImpactThe 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.

Jared McCann - Scores in lossMcCann scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.
ImpactA recent drop to the third line hasn't nullified McCann's effectiveness as arguably the Kraken's best shooter. The 27-year-old has three points over his last three contests, giving him four goals and a helper through nine outings this season. He's added 27 shots on net, nine PIM and a minus-5 rating. With Andre Burakovsky (upper body) likely out until at least December, McCann may stick with Yanni Gourde and Eeli Tolvanen for a while.
