Gaudreau (upper body) is unlikely to play Friday after leaving the Wilds' previous contest Thursday early.

Gaudreau played only 9:02 time-on-ice before exiting Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning with an upper-body injury and is unlikely to play on Friday against the Florida Panthers. Gaudreau has one point (0G / 1A) in his last nine games.

Hayden is listed as a scratch for Thursday's game in Edmonton.

Hayden will be the odd-man out on Thursday as Andre Burakovsky is set to return from a lower-body injury. Hayden has played just one game with the Kraken this season, registering one shot on goal and two hits.

Daccord will start in Edmonton on Thursday.

Daccord will be back between the pipes for the Kraken on Thursday after Chris Driedger got the nod in the tail-end of a back-to-back on Tuesday. Daccord was unlucky to see his personal eight-game winning streak snapped his last time out, allowing just two goals on 32 shots as the Kraken fell to the Penguins by a score of 3-0. Daccord's incredible run of form has seen his SV% on the season climb to .923 while his GAA is down to just 2.28. He'll need to be at his very best again on Thursday as the Kraken travel to Edmonton to take on Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

Mahura is expected to be a healthy scratch Wednesday vs. Detroit.

Mahura will exit the lineup and serve as a healthy scratch to allow Dmitry Kulikov to draw back into the lineup after a one-game absence from an undisclosed injury. Monday's game against the Anaheim Ducks was Mahura's first action in a month. He played 12:29 time-on-ice, recorded two hits, and a -2 plus/minus rating.
