Nyman has played 26 games with Seattle this season, scoring six points (4G / 2A), but will work on seasoning his game at the AHL level. In a corresponding move, Seattle recalled Oscar Fisker-Molgaard from the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL).
Fisker-Molgaard made his NHL debut earlier this season, scoring one assist in three games, and has been recalled by a Seattle team desperate for an offensive uptick. The 21-year-old second-round pick from the 2023 NHL Entry Draft has 32 points (10G / 22A) in 46 games this season with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL).
Fleury will slot into the Kraken lineup on Tuesday as the seventh defenceman. Jani Nyman will sit in his place.

The Kraken, losers of three straight, are doing themselves no favours in their race for a Wild Card spot, and hope to rebound on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. Daccord saved 23 of 25 shots (.920 SV%) in a 6-2 win over the Panthers two weeks ago and will hope to replicate that performance on Tuesday. That said, the 29-year-old Daccord has struggled lately, posting a 3.26 GAA and .893 SV% in nine games since the Olympic break (3-6-0). Seattle enters the action as +119 road underdogs.

Seattle will be without Winterton for an undetermined amount of time as he tends to personal matters. The 22-yera-old forward is averaging 11:47 time-on-ice and has 18 points (4G / 14A) in 62 games this season.
Daccord will make his 41st start of the campaign when the Kraken head to Nashville to take on the Predators on Thursday. Daccord turned in a solid performance in his last outing, allowing just two goals on 25 shots in a 6-2 win over the Panthers on Sunday. The 29-year-old netminder owns a 19-16-5 record and .901 SV% on the season. Daccord and the Kraken enter action on Thursday at +115 on the money line.
Nyman, a second-round pick of Seattle in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, spent 24 games with the Kraken earlier this season, scoring six points (4G / 2A). That said, the 21-year-old forward has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has 27 points (18G / 9A) in 29 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
Melanson will draw in for Eeli Tolvanen, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Melanson has two goals and three assists in 29 games this season.
Tolvanen was absent from morning skate on Tuesday and was a game-time decision vs. Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old Tolvanen has struggled offensively lately, with only three points (1G / 2A) in his last 12 games.
Grubauer was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks and will look to carry that momentum in Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The win snapped a rough four-game skid for the 34-year-old Grubauer, where he posted a 3.66 GAA and .870 SV% while his team went 0-4-0. Seattle enters the action on Tuesday as +165 home underdogs against a struggling Tampa Bay team that is 2-7-0 in their last nine games.
