James Reimer has been activated from the injured reserve (lower body).

Reimer has been on the injured reserve since Nov. 28th due to a lower-body injury but will return for the Sharks Tuesday as they take Arizona. Reimer has struggled at times this season as shown by his .902 SV%, 3.00 GAA and 5-8-2 record. He will be hoping a clean bill of health can lead to a success similar to his .911 SV% from 2021-22.

Igor Shesterkin will start Monday vs. New Jersey.

Shesterkin stopped 41 of 42 shots (.976 SV%) in his third straight victory, with a win over Colorado his last time out. Last season's Vezina Trophy winner has been solid this year with a 13-4-4 record, .917 SV% AND 2.50 GAA. He will take on the New Jersey Devils, who are fourth in the NHL in both shots per game (34.9) and goals (3.7).

The Kraken have claimed Eeli Tolvanen off of waivers from the Predators.

Tolvanen has two goals and two assists (four points) in 13 games with the Predators this season. Since being selected No.30 overall in 2017, Tolvanen has picked up 51 points (25G / 26A) in 135 career NHL games. To make room for Tolvanen, the Kraken waived Karson Kuhlman.

Shesterkin will start Friday in Colorado.

Shesterkin stopped 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) for his second straight victory as he defeated St.Louis in his previous start. Last season's Vezina Trophy winner has not been as dominant this season as shown by his .913 SV%, 2.58 GAA and 12-4-4 record. He will face the Colorado Avalanche, who have uncharacteristically lost three straight and four of their last five games.

Korpisalo was yanked after allowing three Tage Thompson goals on only nine total shots (.667 SV%) as he took the no-decision in his last start. It has been an up-and-down season for the 28-year-old, who is 4-5-1 with a .899 SV% and 3.65 GAA.

Korpisalo allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) as he picked up his fourth loss in five starts his previous time out in a defeat to Detroit. The 28-year-old has done enough to take the Blue Jackets' starting job, with his 4-5-1 record, .905 SV% and 3.51 GAA. He draws another tough task as he takes on the Buffalo Sabres, who surprisingly rank 2nd in the NHL in goals with 3.8 average per game.
