Seattle announced that they would be confirming their lineup closer to game-time on Thursday meaning Jared McCann could be a possible candidate to return after taking part in the team's optional morning skate. The 27-year-old missed Seattle's previous game and leads the team in both goals (28) and points (60) across his 75 games played before the injury.
Gaudreau did not travel to Vegas with Minnesota due to personal reasons but was not fully ruled out for the game on Friday. The 30-year-old should have an update in the morning but if he does play will be looking to add to his five goals and 15 points in 65 games this season.
Morrison played his first game since March 30th on Tuesday but will return to the press box as a healthy scratch on Thursday. The 21-year-old Morrison has spent most of the season in the AHL, scoring 40 points (15G / 25A) in 60 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
Daccord has not played much lately due to a minor nagging injury but will return to the crease for the first time since March 30th. The 27-year-old Daccord has a 2.42 GAA and .918 SV% in 47 games (18-16-11) this season and has allowed two or fewer goals in his last four outings despite only salvaging a 1-2-1 record. Seattle enters action on Thursday as a -244 home favourite against the San Jose Sharks.
Mahura played the last three games for the Panthers, recording one assist, but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday. Oliver Ekman-Larsson will draw into the lineup as his replacement on the blue line.
Daccord has not played any of the last four games for Seattle despite strong showings in his previous four appearances. The 27-year-old Daccord has a 2.42 GAA and .918 SV% in 47 games (18-16-11) this season.
Stephenson most recently played on a line with Tomas Hertl and Michael Amadio but will not play on Wednesday to attend the birth of his child. The 29-year-old Stephenson has 47 points (16G / 31A) in 73 games this season.
Seattle has won two of their last three, all with Grubauer between the pipes, and will turn to him for a fourth straight game on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes. Grubauer has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his last four (3-1-0), including his most recent outing when he saved 16 of 17 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. Seattle enters action as a -138 home favourite.
Stephenson returned to Vegas on Tuesday due to personal reasons and his status for Wednesday's game in Edmonton is up in the air as a result. Brendan Brisson will likely draw into the lineup if Stephenson is unavailable.
Larsson did not play in Seattle's last game for personal reasons but will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Larsson has 18 points (4G / 14A), 119 shots, 149 hits, and 143 blocks in 75 games this season.
McCann played 18:30 time-on-ice in Seattle's most recent outing, a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and will not play on Tuesday. The 27-year-old McCann has 60 points (28G / 32A) in 75 games this season.

Seattle enters action as a -138 home favourite.
Morrison has not played since March 30th, missing three games, but will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes. The 21-year-old Morrison has spent most of the season in the AHL, scoring 40 points (15G / 25A) in 60 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
McCann played 18:30 time-on-ice in Seattle's most recent outing, a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and is not expected to play on Tuesday. The 27-year-old McCann has 60 points (28G / 32A) in 75 games this season.
Dunn played two straight games, returning from a 12-game absence, but did not play in Seattle's most recent outing and is unlikely to play on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Dunn has 46 points (11G / 35A) in 59 games this season.
Fleury was recalled last week as well but did not draw into Seatle's lineup and has yet to play an NHL game this season. The 25-year-old defenseman has 33 points (6G / 27A) in 61 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL).
With Adam Larsson and Vince Dunn both unavailable on Friday, Schultz will return to lineup after sitting out the last two games. Schultz has six goals and 16 assists in 63 games this season.
Dunn was a surprise scratch for Friday's game, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. The Kraken will also be without Adam Larsson on Friday, who is away from the team due to personal reasons.
The Kraken will turn to Grubauer for a third consecutive game when they travel to Anaheim to take on the Ducks on Friday. It is a somewhat surprising development considering Grubauer struggled in Wednesday's game in Los Angeles, allowing five goals on 27 shots as the Kraken fell to the Kings by a score of 5-2. Grubauer does have a good chance of getting back in the win column on Friday, with the Kraken being -170 favourites in Anaheim.
