He has 12 goals, 32 points, 108 shots on net, 153 hits, 63 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 61 appearances this season. This is a contract year for Tolvanen, so he'll want to finish strong to boost his value for the open market.

He'll return to Seattle with a bronze medal and will look to stay hot in an effort to help the Kraken make the playoffs for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign.

Strikes on power play in loss Tolvanen scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-3 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Tolvanen has three goals and an assist over his last five outings. The 26-year-old was on a six-game point drought before that stretch, but he's bounced back to continue to prove himself as a decent all-around option in fantasy. The winger is up to 10 goals, 29 points (11 on the power play), 80 shots on net, 122 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 47 appearances. A 50-point campaign is within reach if he can limit slumps.
