GAME LOG
Jared McCann - Undergoes lower-body procedure McCann underwent a procedure Thursday for his lower-body injury, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.
Impact McCann missed the final three games of the regular season due to the injury, and he completed 2025-26 with 20 goals and 40 points in 52 outings. The 29-year-old expects to be available for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Victor Ostman - Returns to AHL Ostman was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday.
Impact Ostman stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 2-0 loss to Colorado in his lone NHL appearance of 2025-26 on Thursday. The Kraken didn't make the playoffs, but Coachella Valley did, so Ostman will get some more work with the minor-league squad. The 25-year-old netminder had a 2.77 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 35 regular-season outings with Coachella Valley in 2025-26.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Nikke Kokko - Returning to minors Kokko was sent down to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday.
Impact Kokko saw action in three NHL games during his stint with the Kraken, posting a 1-2-0 record and 3.03 GAA. The Finnish netminder put up much better numbers with the Firebirds, going 18-10-2 with a .903 save percentage in 34 minor-league outings. With both Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer under contract next year, Kokko figures to be hard-pressed to see significant opportunities in the NHL.

Jani Nyman - Sent down to AHL Nyman was reassigned to the minors Friday.
Impact Nyman played in 28 games for the Kraken this year, registering four goals, three assists and 23 hits while averaging 10:34 of ice time. If the 21-year-old Finn can put together a strong training camp in the fall, he could be in the mix for a spot in Seattle's Opening Night roster come October.

Wedgewood makes 22 saves, Avalanche shut out Kraken | NHL.com Blankenburg, Kelly score for Colorado; Ostman stops 33 in 1st NHL start for Seattle
APRIL 17 • NHL.COM
Victor Ostman - Shows well in first start Ostman stopped 33 of 35 shots in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Avalanche.
Impact He didn't face the full brunt of Colorado's attack, as the hosts rested a few players. Ostman still faced plenty of pressure, but he put forth a good effort. The Kraken lost because they couldn't solve opposing goalie Scott Wedgewood. With the Kraken's season over, expect Ostman and Niklas Kokko to be reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley in the coming days.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Grubauer - Likely out again Thursday Grubauer (lower body) is not expected to be available Thursday versus the Avalanche.
Impact Grubauer wasn't named by head coach Lane Lambert in pregame, but the fact that Victor Ostman was indicated to be the starter suggests Grubauer remains out. The 34-year-old Grubauer will finish with a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 32 appearances, his best ratios in five years for the Kraken. He'll be in a contract year in 2026-27. If Grubauer's injury isn't too serious, he could also be a contender to be invited in May to the IIHF World Championship for Germany.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Daccord - Slated to be out Daccord (lower body) is not expected to play Thursday versus the Avalanche.
Impact Head coach Lane Lambert hinted that Victor Ostman would start, and that makes it likely Daccord will not be in uniform since Ostman is up with the big club under emergency conditions. Daccord will end the season at 20-20-6 with a 3.03 GAA and an .896 save percentage, his worst numbers in three years as a starter for the Kraken.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Ostman - Slated to start finale Ostman will guard the road goal versus the Avalanche on Thursday.
Impact Head coach Lane Lambert didn't specifically name Ostman, but referenced the goalie for the game is making his first appearance. That's true for Ostman, who has spent the bulk of the year in the AHL with Coachella Valley, going 17-14-3 with a 2.77 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 35 games. He came up from the AHL over the weekend to provide depth while Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer close out the season on the shelf due to their respective lower-body injuries.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Schwartz - Won't play Thursday Schwartz (upper body) is expected to miss Thursday's season finale against Colorado, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.
Impact Schwartz will finish the season with 11 goals and 26 points in 50 outings with the Kraken. The 33-year-old has completed his five-year, $27.5 million contract and is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

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.
APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE
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.
APRIL 16 • 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.
