Seattle Kraken

Shane Wright found the back of the net on his only shot attempt while adding three blocked shots and two hits in Sunday’s 4-1 defeat against Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact: Wright has been heating up, tallying 12 points over his last 10 outings and establishing himself as a consistent offensive presence in Seattle’s lineup. The 21-year-old is now up to 13 goals, 34 points, 57 shots, and 44 blocked shots through 56 games in his first full NHL season. With his recent surge, Wright is a strong waiver wire target in deeper leagues and could provide sneaky value as a category streamer down the stretch. If he maintains this pace, the 50-point mark is well within reach.

Joey Daccord stopped 26 of 27 shots in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Florida. He was sharp throughout, with the only goal against coming off a deflection midway through the second period. This marks Daccord’s second straight win and his career-high 20th victory of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Daccord has been a stabilizing presence in Seattle’s crease, allowing more than three goals just once in his last nine outings. Over that span, he’s posted a 4-4-1 record with an impressive 2.33 GAA and .925 save percentage. He remains a solid fantasy option, especially in leagues that reward save percentage and goals-against average. His workload should remain steady down the stretch.

Jared McCann scored his 15th goal of the season on five shots in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over the Panthers. His tally at 7:03 of the third period snapped a nine-game goal drought and stood as the game-winner.

Fantasy Impact: McCann had been productive as a playmaker with six assists during his scoring slump, but getting back on the scoresheet will be a welcome boost for fantasy managers. The 28-year-old now has 43 points, 133 shots on goal, and a plus-8 rating across 58 games. With Seattle struggling to stay in the playoff race, McCann’s name has surfaced in trade rumors. A move could impact his fantasy value depending on his deployment, but for now, he remains a solid scoring option in most formats.

Beniers notched Seattle’s first goal, finishing the contest with two shots on net and a plus-0 rating in 22:53 of ice time. He also went 7-for-16 in the faceoff circle (43.8%) and spent a couple of minutes on the power play (2:02).

Fantasy Impact: Beniers remains a core piece of the Kraken offense, typically delivering a steady mix of scoring and moderate faceoff production. While he may not be an elite source of peripheral stats, his top-six role and power-play time keep him relevant in most formats, especially for managers seeking goals and steady point potential.

Tolvanen scored Seattle’s only goal, finishing the contest with three shots on net in 15:17 of ice time. He posted a plus-1 rating and contributed two missed shots, indicating his willingness to test the opposing netminder despite the losing effort.

Fantasy Impact: Tolvanen continues to display goal-scoring potential, particularly when given opportunities to shoot. His usage at even strength is relatively stable, but his fantasy value would climb further if he earned consistent power-play deployment. Managers seeking a scoring boost may consider him a solid depth add, especially if he maintains his shot volume.

Chandler Stephenson found the back of the net Tuesday, scoring his 10th goal of the season in Seattle’s 5-4 shootout loss to Detroit. He added two hits and two penalty minutes in the contest.

Fantasy Impact: Stephenson has been a steady contributor since the start of January, racking up seven goals and nine assists over his last 17 outings. While his shot volume remains low (55 on the season), his playmaking ability and consistency make him a viable option in fantasy formats. With 39 points through 54 games, Stephenson remains a key piece in Seattle’s top six, offering solid value in deeper leagues.

Brandon Montour scored twice and blocked three shots in Thursday’s 6-2 win over San Jose. He broke a 20-game goal drought early in the second period with the eventual game-winner, then added a power-play tally later in the frame.

Fantasy Impact: Montour’s production had slowed down significantly, with just five assists and a minus-13 rating over his previous 20 games. Despite the slump, he continues to hold a top-four role and contributes across multiple categories. Now up to 10 goals, 27 points, and 147 shots through 52 contests, he remains a solid fantasy asset in leagues that reward shot volume and category coverage.

Oliver Bjorkstrand notched a goal and an assist while posting a plus-3 rating in Thursday’s 6-2 victory over San Jose. He and Chandler Stephenson set each other up on Seattle’s first two goals, marking Bjorkstrand’s first multi-point game since Dec. 12 against Boston.

Fantasy Impact: Bjorkstrand wrapped up January with four goals and four assists over 15 games, maintaining steady offensive production despite some inconsistency. He now sits at 15 goals and 34 points through 52 appearances, adding 112 shots and 51 hits. While he hasn’t had an explosive stretch lately, Bjorkstrand remains a solid middle-tier fantasy option, especially in leagues that reward multi-category contributions.

Jaden Schwartz scored a goal on three shots and logged two PIM in Thursday’s 6-2 victory over San Jose. He capitalized on a breakaway coming out of the penalty box in the second period, chasing Yaroslav Askarov from the game.

Fantasy Impact: Schwartz is heating up, finishing January with six goals and 10 points in 15 games. He’s up to 18 goals and 35 points through 53 contests, putting him on pace for his best season in five years. With 122 shots on goal and 20 PIM, Schwartz remains a valuable asset in fantasy formats, and he could push for his second career 60-point campaign.

Vince Dunn picked up an assist and logged five PIM in Thursday’s 6-2 victory over San Jose. The defenseman set up an Oliver Bjorkstrand goal in the second period before engaging in a scrap with Henry Thrun later in the frame. While Dunn isn’t known for his physicality, he’s shown a willingness to stand up for teammates when needed.

Fantasy Impact: Dunn has been steady offensively, collecting four points in his last six games while maintaining a key role on Seattle’s blue line. With 10 goals, 23 points, and 77 shots through 33 appearances, he remains a solid fantasy option for managers looking for scoring from the back end.

Jamie Oleksiak recorded an assist, four shots on goal, and six blocked shots in Seattle’s 6-2 victory over San Jose on Thursday. The defenseman has quietly put together a strong offensive stretch, tallying two goals and four assists over his last 11 outings while stepping into a top-four role with Ryker Evans (upper body) sidelined.

Fantasy Impact: Oleksiak’s recent offensive contributions are a nice bonus, but his fantasy value primarily comes from his defensive stats. With 112 blocked shots, 40 hits, and 47 shots on goal through 53 games, he offers appeal in deeper leagues that emphasize physical play and defensive categories. However, his scoring tends to be streaky, making him a situational add rather than a must-roster player.

Josh Mahura contributed a helper and posted a plus-2 rating in Seattle’s 6-2 victory over San Jose on Thursday. The assist snapped a seven-game scoring drought for the defenseman, who set up an Eeli Tolvanen tally in the third period.

Fantasy Impact: Mahura has seen consistent ice time since the Kraken traded Will Borgen in December, though his offensive production remains sporadic. He has five assists across 41 games this season, with four coming in his last 11 appearances. While his peripheral stats—40 shots on goal, 56 hits, and 31 blocks—provide some value, he remains a depth piece in fantasy formats that emphasize defensive contributions.

John Hayden tallied an assist, fired three shots on goal, and delivered two hits during Monday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

Fantasy Impact: Hayden has picked up two points in his last three outings while solidifying his role on the fourth line. Competing with Tye Kartye for the final roster spot, Hayden appears to have the edge for now, especially as injuries open opportunities in the Kraken lineup. With two points, six shots, 19 hits, and a plus-1 rating across seven appearances, Hayden's production is modest but noteworthy for his depth role. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might monitor Hayden's status, particularly as Yanni Gourde (lower body) nears a return, which could impact Hayden's roster spot.

Andre Burakovsky recorded an assist in the Kraken's 4-1 victory against the Penguins on Saturday. He helped set up Oliver Bjorkstrand’s goal early in the second period, contributing to Seattle's strong showing.

Fantasy Impact: Burakovsky has been moderately productive in January, logging one goal and four assists over 12 contests while maintaining a middle-six role. Despite his consistent place in the lineup, his season totals—18 points, 72 shots on net, and a minus-6 rating across 47 appearances—limit his appeal in standard fantasy leagues. Managers in deeper formats may still consider him a viable option for depth scoring.

Philipp Grubauer allowed five goals on 19 shots for a .737 save percentage before being pulled in the second period.

Fantasy Impact: Grubauer’s inconsistency remains a significant concern for fantasy managers. While his role as the Kraken’s primary goaltender gives him volume, his volatility limits his reliability in standard leagues. He’s best deployed in favorable matchups.

Kaapo Kakko recorded an assist and logged 19:00 of ice time, contributing one shot, two hits, and a takeaway. His time on the penalty kill was minimal.

Fantasy Impact: Kakko’s assist reflects his growing offensive consistency, but his overall ceiling remains capped by limited opportunities in Seattle’s lineup. He’s a streaming option in deep leagues or formats emphasizing secondary stats like hits.

Jordan Eberle had an assist during a 3-2 opening night loss to St. Louis. He finished the game with one shot attempt and an even rating in 15:58 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: Last season Eberle posted 17 goals and 27 assists (44 points) in 78 games. He skates on the top line as well as the power-play unit for Seattle and could be a valuable depth or injury replacement player for any fantasy roster.

Yanni Gourde was able to light the lamp for the Kraken Monday, scoring one goal in a 3-0 shutout win over the Golden Knights.

Fantasy Impact: Gourde has struggled to make much of an impact in the offensive zone of late for the Kraken, picking up points in just two of his last five games for the Kraken. The 32-year-old is a gritty two-way option with sneaky goal-scoring upside, tallying just 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 38 games so far this season.

Justin Schultz had two assists during an 8-1 win versus Arizona. He finished the game with one shot and two blocks in 19:35 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: The two assists were the first points for Schultz since March 7th versus Anaheim and breaks an 11-game streak without a point. This season in 68 games he has six goals and 25 assists with a plus-two rating.

Martin Jones stood tall in net for the Kraken Thursday night, stopping 18 of 19 shots faced in a 4-1 win over the Ducks.

Fantasy Impact: Jones has been inconsistent in the crease of late for the Kraken, allowing three or more goals in three of his last five starts (1-2-0, .833 save percentage) for the club. The veteran netminder has been the beneficiary of playing behind one of the most prolific offensive attacks in the NHL to this point, carrying a 3.02 GAA and .888 save percentage in 45 appearances (25-12-3) so far this season.
