Philipp Grubauer - Set to face StarsGrubauer was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports, indicating he will start Game 1 in Dallas.
ImpactGrubauer posted a 4-3 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .926 save percentage against Colorado in the first round of the playoffs. He stopped 21 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars on March 11 during the regular season. Dallas ranks ninth in the playoffs this year with 31.7 shots per game.

Jared McCann - Remains unavailableMcCann (undisclosed) didn't accompany the Kraken to Dallas for the start of the second round the playoffs, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.
ImpactMcCann hasn't traveled with the team since getting injured in Game 4 of the first round against Colorado on April 24. It's unclear at this time if he will be available to return to the lineup during the second round of the postseason. McCann racked up 40 goals and 70 points in 79 games during the regular season. Tye Kartye is projected to remain on the top line of the Kraken.

Yanni Gourde - Overtime hero TuesdayGourde scored the game-winning goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.
ImpactThings got scrambly in the Stars' zone, as Gourde's attempt to pass to the point was blocked back to him. He spun around and beat Jake Oettinger with a shot at 12:17 of overtime to give the Kraken the win and 1-0 series lead. Gourde's playoff experience is showing this postseason -- he has two goals, five assists, 12 shots on net, 30 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through eight appearances.

Philipp Grubauer - Yields four goals in OT winGrubauer stopped 31 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.
ImpactGrubauer had no answer for Joe Pavelski, who scored all four of the Stars' goals. Luckily for the Kraken, no other Dallas skater was able to beat Grubauer, who has now won four of his last five outings. He's at 5-3 with a 2.57 GAA and a .921 save percentage through eight postseason contests, and it's safe to assume he'll get the nod again in Thursday's Game 2.

Jordan Eberle - Two-point effort in winEberle scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.
ImpactEleven Kraken got on the scoresheet, but Eberle was the only one with multiple points in this contest. While that speaks to the team's depth, it also shows that the 32-year-old is one of the leaders on offense. He's up to two goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating through eight playoff outings.

Jaden Schwartz - Finds twine in Game 1 winSchwartz scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.
ImpactSchwartz has racked up three goals and three assists through eight playoff outings. He tied the game at 1-1 in a chaotic first period Tuesday. The winger also has 31 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-4 rating in the postseason. Schwartz continues to play with Alexander Wennberg and Morgan Geekie on the second line.

Justin Schultz - Tallies in win TuesdaySchultz scored a goal on four shots, logged two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.
ImpactSchultz snapped a three-game point drought with his tally. Ryan Donato won a puck battle and found Schultz, who stepped into the right-wing circle before beating Jake Oettinger at 14:28 of the first period. With two goals and six points through eight playoff outings, Schultz is providing a little offense from the blue line despite being in a third-pairing role.
