Lindgren's injury won't open up power-play minutes, but Evans could get a boost at even strength, which should still help his offense.

Impact Evans ended a 16-game goal drought Sunday with Seattle's first goal of the game, which came midway through the second period. Overall, the 24-year-old blueliner is up to four goals, 11 points, 25 shots on net, 21 hits and 37 blocks across 36 games this season. While his ceiling is limited on the Kraken's third defensive pairing, he is tied for third among the team's blueliners in goals and points. While he has a bright fantasy outlook in dynasty leagues, Evans is best left on the waiver wire in standard formats unless one of Seattle's top defensemen is expected to miss time.

Impact Evans tallied a long-range goal in the third period, answering Collin Graf's go-ahead tally just 1:19 earlier.

He's at three goals, eight points, 18 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 19 contests. The 24-year-old will get a boost in potential for as long as Brandon Montour (undisclosed) is out, which has opened a spot for Evans on the second power-play unit.

Impact Evans helped out on Matty Beniers' game-tying goal in the third period and Brandon Montour's game-winner at 4:10 of overtime.

He's at two goals, four helpers, nine shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances this season. The 23-year-old should have a steady place in the lineup, but it's unlikely he'll be able to sustain his recent success on offense without a bump in ice time.

He's played on the third pairing so far, and he saw a season-low 14:03 of ice time Tuesday. Evans is also out of the mix on the power play with both of Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour healthy. There's some upside to Evans' offense, but his current role isn't fantasy friendly.
