GAME LOG
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.
APRIL 16 • 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.
APRIL 16 • 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.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
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.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
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.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
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.
APRIL 14 • 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.
APRIL 14 • 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.

APRIL 14 • YOUTUBE
Bobby McMann - Pots goal vs. Los Angeles McMann scored a goal, took three shots and recorded four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.
Impact McMann scored Seattle's third goal, and his snap shot at the 17:33 mark of the final frame not only gave him 29 goals on the year, but also reduced the deficit to just one goal. McMann has 14 points (10 goals, four assists) in his 16 appearances with the Kraken since being acquired from the Maple Leafs before the trade deadline, and overall, he has 47 points in 76 regular-season appearances -- a new career-best mark by a sizable margin.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Nikke Kokko - Gives up four goals Kokko stopped 25 of 29 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game.
Impact Kokko made his second straight start since both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Joey Daccord (lower body) are sidelined. Unlike Saturday when he recorded a win over the Flames, though, he couldn't come out on top this time around. Through two starts, Kokko has stopped 51 of 56 shots faced, and he's likely to remain as the No. 1 option between the pipes in at least one of Seattle's final two games of the regular season. The Kraken are playing the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Avalanche on Thursday.

Shane Wright - Remains shelved Monday Wright (upper body) will not play in Monday's home matchup against the Kings, per Sound of Hockey.
Impact Wright is set to miss his eighth consecutive game Monday after sustaining his lower-body injury in the first period of Seattle's game on March 28. Overall, the 22-year-old center has 11 goals, 26 points, 96 shots on net, 50 hits and 57 blocked shots across 72 games this season. In his absence, Oscar Fisker Molgaard and Frederick Gaudreau should continue to operate as the Kraken's third and fourth-line centers. Wright's next opportunity to return to the lineup is Wednesday's road clash against the Golden Knights.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Philipp Grubauer - Unavailable Monday Grubauer (lower body) will not play in Monday's home clash against the Kings, per Sound of Hockey.
Impact Grubauer is set to be absent from his fourth straight game Monday. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder has a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 32 games this season. With Joey Daccord (lower body) also out, it creates an avenue for Niklas Kokko to start his second consecutive game. Grubauer will have two more chances to return to Seattle's lineup, with the next set for Wednesday's road game against the Golden Knights.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Daccord - Not suiting up Monday Daccord (lower body) is unavailable for Monday's home matchup versus the Kings, according to Sound of Hockey.
Impact Philipp Grubauer is also not an option for Monday's game, so Niklas Kokko will get the start, while Victor Ostman, who was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday, will be the backup. It's currently unclear if Daccord will be sidelined for the rest of 2025-26. The Kraken have two more games remaining after Monday -- Wednesday in Vegas and Thursday in Colorado.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Nikke Kokko - Hits ice first Monday Kokko will defend the home crease in Monday's clash against the Kings, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Kokko will look to follow up his strong performance in Saturday's game, which resulted in his first career NHL win. He stopped 26 shots and allowed just one goal, giving him momentum ahead of Monday. The 22-year-old netminder came by the opportunity to start down the stretch with both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Joey Deccord (lower body) sidelined. Kokko will clash with the Kings, who rank 29th in the NHL with 2.67 goals per game this season.

Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann to miss remainder of 2025-26 season with lower-body injury

Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann will miss the team’s final three regular-season games with a lower-body injury
APRIL 13 • Associated Press
Jared McCann - Done for season McCann is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him for the final three games of the season, the team announced Monday.
Impact McCann has already reached the 20-goal mark for the fifth straight year, despite having played in just 52 games for the Kraken this season. Still, with all the time missed due to injury, the 29-year-old winger will post his lowest point total (40) since the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign. McCann is under contract for the upcoming season and should remain a fixture in Seattle's top six if he can stay healthy.
