Seattle Kraken News

The Kraken have rotated their goaltenders every game to open the 2024-25 season and that trend will continue on Thursday. Daccord was excellent his last time out, allowing just one goal on 22 shots in a 2-1 victory over the Flames on Saturday. Daccord owns a perfect 3-0-0 record on the year to go along with a .914 SV% and a 2.60 GAA. He has clearly outplayed Philipp Grubauer to date and could earn himself the lion's share of the starts if his fine form continues. Daccord and the Kraken enter action against the Jets as slight home underdogs at +105.

Fleury has not drawn into Seattle's lineup yet this season, but with Vince Dunn (upper body) not eligible to return from LTIR yet, Fleury has been recalled from Coachella Valley (AHL) several times over the last week. That said, Fleury has been a stranger to NHL action over the last several seasons. After playing 41 games with the Montreal Canadiens in his rookie season in 2019-20, the 25-year-old Fleury has only played 22 combined NHL games since. Last season with Coachella Valley, Fleury had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 65 games.

Fleury has not drawn into Seattle's lineup yet this season, but with Vince Dunn (upper body) not eligible to return from LTIR yet, his demotion to Coachella Valley (AHL) might just be a paper transaction.

Last season with Coachella Valley, Fleury had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 65 games.

The Kraken have rotated between Grubauer and Joey Daccord every game so far this season and that trend will continue with Grubauer getting the nod on Tuesday. Grubauer secured his first win of the season his last time out, allowing four goals on 25 shots in a 6-4 victory over the Flyers on Thursday. Grubauer has been outplayed by Daccord to date, so he will need to improve on his .877 SV% if he wants to maintain his share of the workload. Seattle enters Tuesday night's action as slight home underdogs at +110.

Lindgren has not played yet this season due to an upper-body injury suffered during the preseason but will make his season debut on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 26-year-old was a cog on New York's back end last season, putting up three goals, 17 points and a +22 plus/minus in 76 games played.

Dunn, a staple on the back end since joining Seattle in their inaugural 2021-22 season, has been placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve, a crushing blow for Seattle's defensive core. Dunn has scored 110 points (25G / 85A) in 140 games over the last two seasons. In a corresponding move, the team has recalled Cale Fleury from Coachella Valley of the AHL.

Dunn was limited to only 13:10 time-on-ice before exiting Thursday's 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers with an undisclosed injury. Dunn has three points (1G / 2A) in four games while occupying a spot on the top powerplay unit this season. If he is unable to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Calgary Flames, Brandon Montour will likely join the top powerplay unit in the interim.

Seattle started Grubauer in their first game of the season and have alternated goalies in each game since. They will return to Grubauer between the pipes in their fifth game of the 2024-25 campaign on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Seattle is 2-2-0 to start the season, with both of their wins coming when Grubauer was the backup to Joey Daccord. Despite his winless record (0-2-0), Grubauer has not received ample goal support this season, as evident by his respectable 2.59 GAA. Seattle enters action on Thursday as a -129 home favorite against the Flyers.

Seattle has alternated goalies through three games this season and will continue the trend on Tuesday, turning to Daccord between the pipes for the second time this season. Daccord was unspectacular in his season opener, allowing four goals on 38 shots (.895 SV%), but salvaged a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild, Seattle's only win this season. Seattle enters play on Tuesday as a +171 road underdog against a winless Nashville Predators club (0-2-0).

Dunn is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not play on Sunday as the Kraken head to Dallas. Seattle will be without their top offensive defensemen who have started the year with a goal and two points through the first two games while averaging 21:22 TOI/GP. Josh Mahura will make his debut in Dunn's absence on Sunday.
