Philipp Grubauer - Facing Red Wings Grubauer will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Tuesday, according to Sound of Hockey.

Impact Grubauer has stopped 121 of 133 shots during his 2-1-1 start to the 2026-27 campaign. He has won two of his last three outings (2-0-1), allowing only nine goals on 101 shots over that span. Detroit (3-3-2) is tied for 27th in the league this season with 2.38 goals per game.

Jani Nyman - Buries pair of goals Nyman scored twice in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-4 shootout loss to Abbotsford on Sunday.

Impact Nyman already has three multi-goal games in the AHL this season. He's racked up eight goals, two assists, 22 shots and 12 PIM across seven contests this season with the Firebirds. He's topped the 20-goal mark twice at the AHL level and seemingly doesn't have much left to prove in that league.

Adam Larsson - Pockets helper in loss Larsson logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Larsson has contributed a pair of assists over nine contests to start the season. The 33-year-old defenseman continues to play in his usual top-pairing role while handling heavy defensive minutes. He has added 10 shots on net, 17 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. Larsson has some appeal in banger leagues but isn't likely to produce much more than 25 points.

Joey Daccord - Tough way to get in record books Daccord made 29 saves in an 8-3 loss to Florida on Saturday.

Impact He will go into the record books in a bad way for this game. He surrendered two hat tricks -- one to Carter Verhaeghe and the other to Sam Bennett. Verhaeghe's was a natural hattie and that means the kitties had three straight games with a natural hat trick. Brady Tkachuk had the other two. This is the first time in NHL history that this feat has happened. Daccord will be remembered like Ilya Sorokin is remembered as the guy who surrendered Alex Ovechkin's record goal. Or the way that Wade Flaherty is remembered as the goalie who surrendered Wayne Gretzky's last goal. Daccord, who is 3-2-0 with a 3.89 GAA and .882 save percentage, is being outplayed by Philipp Grubauer (2-1-1, 2.71 GAA, .910 save percentage). If this continues, Daccord could be on the soft side of the platoon instead of the strong one.

Ryker Evans - Munches minutes, gets goal Evans scored a goal in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Evans is a minute-munching defender -- he led his team with 23:16 of ice time Saturday. And his offense arrives passively, simply because he's out there so much. Evans has one goal, three assists and eight shots in nine contests this season. He also has 16 hits and 10 blocks, which put him on track for a 150-hit, 95-block season. With secondary scoring, Evans is the kind of anti-pylon you can safely slot into your last roster spot in bruise leagues because he could get 30 points, too.

Freddy Gaudreau - Six points in last five games Gaudreau scored a goal in Saturday's 8-3 loss to Florida.

Impact Gaudreau, 33, seems to be drinking from the fountain of youth. He has six points, including four goals, in his last five games and seven points (five goals, two assists) in nine games on the season. Gaudreau is centering the Kraken's fourth line, but his seven points are fourth on the team. The Kraken sends four, third lines over the board every night, so the offense is spread out. And no-one really stands out. Gaudreau may be helpful in deep daileis when he's this hot. Confidence is everything.

Shane Wright - Slow start to season Wright scored a goal Saturday in an 8-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The goal snapped a four-game point drought. Wright has three goals and an assist in nine games this season from the third line. But more telling is that he's skating on the wing with 20-year-old center Berkly Catton. Wright was drafted as a pivot, but he has struggled dearly at the dot in past seasons. The 22-year-old forward has talent -- he put up 19 goals and 44 points in his first full season (79 games in 2024-25), but his development is lagging right now. And he needs to prove himself this season in order to improve his negotiating position. Wright becomes a restricted free agent next summer, so a trade may even be in his future.

Kaapo Kakko - Strong start continues Kakko delivered two assists Saturday in an 8-3 loss to Florida.

Impact Kakko has delivered two, 40-point seasons to mark the high point of his offensive career. But this season, he has stepped up his game and has two goals and six assists in nine games. We're not going overboard here -- Kakko has just eight shots and his 25.0 shooting percentage is bloated at best. But 2026-27 could finally be the year of the Kakko as a solid secondary NHL scorer.

Berkly Catton - Another two-point outing Catton picked up two assists in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The 20-year-old Catton has six points (one goal, five assists) in his first nine games this season, and he's well on his way to obliterating his 17-point rookie season (66 games; seven goals, 10 assists). Look closer and you'll see a trend, though. Catton has delivered three, two-point games this season and been held off the scoresheet completely in six of his nine games. It's not unexpected -- young players take some time to become consistent. Catton is great with the puck, has incredible hockey IQ and is more than a passer -- he can snipe, too. His future is bright, even if his now is a bit inconsistent.
