The 31-year-old defenseman is averaging 21:56 time-on-ice and has 16 points (6G / 10A) in 27 games. He is not expected to play on Thursday against the Calgary Flames and his status going forward remains uncertain as he awaits further evaluations.

Dunn (illness) missed practice on Monday but is expected to play on Tuesday vs. Colorado.

Dunn has continued to be a productive presence from Seattle's blueline, regularly quarterbacking their top powerplay unit. The 29-year-old defenseman has 18 points (5G / 13A) in 30 games this season, including six points (2G / 4A) in his last eight games.

Kakko (illness) missed practice on Monday and is expected to play on Tuesday vs. Colorado.

Kakko was acquired by Seattle in the offseason and has not panned out the way they had hoped. The 24-year-old second-overall pick from the 2019 NHL Entry Draft has yet to live up to his draft value and has seemingly taken a step back with the Kraken, scoring three points (1G / 2A) in 14 games this season.

Douglas will draw back into Tampa Bay's lineup vs. Florida on Monday.

Gage Goncalves and Dominic James will serve as healthy scratches on Monday against the Florida Panthers, allowing Curtis Douglas and Scott Sabourin to re-enter the lineup. The 25-year-old Douglas, in his first NHL season, is averaging 5:53 time-on-ice and has two assists in 24 games.

Curtis Douglas
Grubauer will start in Utah on Friday.

Despite a superb effort from Joey Daccord against the Kings on Wednesday, it will in fact be Grubauer between the pipes when the Kraken travel to Utah on Friday. Grubauer was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing two goals on 27 shots in a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Wild on Monday. The 34-year-old netminder carries a 4-1-1 record and .900 SV% into Friday night's matchup in Utah, where the Kraken enter action at +150 on the money line.

McCann (lower-body) is expected to be out for three weeks.

McCann had been the picture of durability over the past three seasons, only missing five combined games, but has battled injury concerns throughout the 2025-26 season. The 29-year-old McCann has already missed 17 games this season and will return to the sidelines for the next few weeks, tending to a lower-body injury. He has eight points (5G / 3A) in 11 games this season.

Jared McCann
Daccord will start against the Kings on Wednesday.

Daccord will be hoping to snap a personal five-game losing streak when he and the Kraken host the Kings on Wednesday. The 29-year-old netminder's struggles continued in his last start, when he allowed four goals on just 25 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. Daccord carries a 7-7-4 record and .891 SV% into Wednesday night's game, where the Kraken enter action at -120 on the money line.
