Impact Following a 19-game absence, Dunn is poised to return to the lineup Saturday against San Jose. He has generated one goal, two assists, 10 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and four hits across four appearances this season. Dunn will probably occupy a top-four role and get power-play time versus the Sharks.

Mitchell Stephens - Summoned from AHL Stephens was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Impact Stephens has three goals and one assist in 11 minor-league outings this season. The 27-year-old forward will be an option for Saturday's game against San Jose, though he could be a healthy scratch.

He's been decent this year with 13 points, 47 shots on net, 17 hits, 18 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 24 appearances, which is a slightly better scoring pace than he displayed with 30 points over 62 outings last season.

The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points, 29 shots on net, 39 hits, 40 blocked shots, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 24 outings. Evans could see a reduced role once Vince Dunn (upper body) returns, but Evans has done enough to handle important minutes for the Kraken moving forward.

Impact Gourde continued a run of steady offense. He has three goals and four assists over his last nine contests, and he hasn't gone more than one game without a point in that span. The 32-year-old forward is up to 10 points, 29 shots on net, 38 hits, 32 PIM and 16 blocked shots across 24 appearances this season. His average ice time of 15:22 is the lowest it's been in five years, but he's still a key part of the Kraken's overall game plan.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Pair of points in loss Bjorkstrand scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Bjorkstrand's multi-point effort was his first since Oct. 29. He has two goals and three assists during a four-game point streak. The winger is up to 13 points (two on the power play), 52 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating across 23 appearances. Bjorkstrand's third-line role isn't a concern on a team like the Kraken, as the ice time is spread fairly evenly around the lineup.
