Shane Wright - Scores in return Wright scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Wright returned from missing eight games due to an upper-body injury and was the only Kraken player to solve Carter Hart. The tally gives Wright 12 goals, 27 points, 97 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 51 hits and a plus-6 rating over 73 appearances this season. That's a large step back from his 44-point campaign in 2024-25, though it's possibly just a sophomore slump -- Wright is still young enough to be a breakout candidate next year.

Nikke Kokko - Fades in third period Kokko allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact That's now consecutive losses for Kokko after he won his NHL season debut Saturday versus the Flames. He's allowed nine goals on 82 shots while going 1-2-0. The Kraken are back in action Thursday versus the Avalanche, and it's unclear which direction Seattle will go for goaltending in that contest. The healthy options on the roster are Kokko or Victor Ostman.

Philipp Grubauer - Still out Wednesday Grubauer (lower body) won't suit up Wednesday versus the Golden Knights, per the NHL media site.

Impact Grubauer will miss a fifth straight game due to the injury. It's unclear if he's with the Kraken on their last road trip, which makes it unknown if he'll be able to get back in uniform for Thursday's season finale against the Avalanche.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Joey Daccord - Out of lineup again Daccord (lower body) won't suit up versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Daccord will miss his third straight game, and that casts doubt on his ability to return before the end of the campaign. The Kraken have one game left after this one, which is Thursday versus the Avalanche.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Shane Wright - Returning to lineup Wednesday Wright (upper body) will play Wednesday versus the Golden Knights, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wright will return from an eight-game absence and is expected to fill a middle-six role. The 22-year-old went 16 games without a goal prior to the injury, adding just four assists and 12 shots on net in that span, so he's unlikely to provide much of a boost in fantasy over the Kraken's last two games.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nikke Kokko - Starting in Vegas Kokko will guard the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kokko is 1-1-0 with five goals allowed on 56 shots over the last two games while he fills in at the NHL level. This will be his third straight start, and it's not clear if the Kraken would ask him to go again Thursday versus the Avalanche if Joey Daccord (lower body) and Philipp Grubauer (lower body) both remain out.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jaden Schwartz - Unavailable Wednesday Schwartz (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Schwartz's injury could also keep him out of Thursday's season finale versus the Avalanche. The 33-year-old winger has been limited to 26 points in 50 appearances this season, his lowest totals in both areas in the last four years. Jani Nyman is likely to play in Schwartz's absence.

Jani Nyman - Recalled from minors Nyman was summoned from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Seattle assigned Jacob Melanson and Oscar Fisker Molgaard to the minors in corresponding moves. That could open the door for Nyman to play against Vegas on Wednesday. He has four goals, two assists, 31 shots on net and 22 hits in 26 NHL appearances this season.

Jacob Melanson - Dropped to AHL Melanson was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Seattle returned Oscar Fisker Molgaard to the minors and brought up Jani Nyman in corresponding moves. The 22-year-old Melanson has two goals, three assists, 33 shots on net and 189 hits in 36 NHL outings this season. He also has seven goals and 16 points in 26 AHL appearances this campaign.

Oscar Fisker Molgaard - Sent back to minors Fisker Molgaard was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Since his call-up on March 25, Fisker Molgaard appeared in 10 games for the team and notched his second assist of the season. He'll return to the Firebirds, where he has 10 goals, 32 points and 78 shots on net across 46 games this season. The 21-year-old center is an upside stash in deep dynasty leagues in fantasy ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Matty Beniers - Dishes pair of assists Beniers notched two assists in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Beniers has a goal and four helpers over his last six outings. With the effort, he was able to achieve the second 50-point campaign of his career, which has made Beniers a silver lining on an otherwise unimpressive Kraken season. He has 20 goals, 30 assists, 149 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 80 appearances.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Adam Larsson - Puts away goal Monday Larsson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Larsson has earned three points over his last four outings, including two goals. The 33-year-old defenseman has produced seven goals, 25 points, 101 shots on net, 107 hits, 160 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 80 appearances. He's had his ice time decreased over the last two contests since the Kraken got eliminated from playoff contention, but he's still a decent streaming option for some blocks and hits.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Freddy Gaudreau - Scores in Monday's loss Gaudreau scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Gaudreau has scored in consecutive contests after going 10 games without a goal. The 32-year-old continues to fill a third-line role in the absence of Shane Wright (upper body). Gaudreau is at seven goals, 24 points, 70 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and 31 hits over 66 appearances. He's done fine in his role but won't be a great streaming option in the Kraken's last two games, which are both on the road with stops in Vegas on Wednesday and Colorado on Thursday.
