Seattle Kraken News

Seattle allowed four unanswered goals in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators as they suffered their third straight loss (0-3-0). The 29-year-old Daccord will return to the crease on Thursday, looking to improve on some inconsistent play since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 3.02 GAA and .903 SV% in six games (3-3-0). Seattle enters the action on Thursday as +185 home underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who are coming off a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Seattle allowed four unanswered goals in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators as they suffered their third straight loss (0-3-0). The 29-year-old Daccord will likely return to the crease on Thursday, looking to improve on some inconsistent play since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 3.02 GAA and .903 SV% in six games (3-3-0). Seattle enters the action on Thursday as +185 home underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who are coming off a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Despite giving up seven goals in Saturday's loss to the Senators, Daccord will somewhat surprisingly be back between the pipes for the Kraken on Tuesday. Kraken head coach Lane Lambert is no doubt rewarding Daccord with a vote of confidence for his strong run of play leading up to Saturday's lopsided defeat. The 29-year-old netminder had gone 6-1-0 in his previous seven starts while posting a .934 SV%. Daccord does have a good chance of getting back in the win column on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action at -115 on the money line.

Murray has been out since November 15th due to a lower-body injury but was activated off IR on Tuesday and will join the Kraken. Through five appearances this season, the 31-year-old has a 0-2-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and .922 SV%.

Gaudreau did not play in Seattle's previous game, but was back at practice on Monday and should return for Tuesday's game against the Nashville Predators. The 32-year-old Gaudreau is averaging 16:09 time-on-ice and has 18 points (4G / 14A) in 48 games this season.

Lindgren has missed Seattle's previous game due to an illness, but was back at practice on Monday and should re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. The 28-year-old defenseman has nine points (2G / 7A) in 58 games this season.

Schwartz suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators and exited the contest after only 6:27 time-on-ice. The 33-year-old veteran forward has been productive offensively in a middle-six role and will be sorely missed, out week-to-week, for a Seattle team that struggles to generate offence. Schwartz has 21 points (10G / 11A) in 42 games this season.

McMann, an impending UFA, has been in frequent trade rumours leading up to the deadline, which came to fruition on Friday in a deal to the Seattle Kraken. The 29-year-old McMann averaged 15:19 time-on-ice, recording 32 points (19G / 13A), and 135 hits in 60 games with the Maple Leafs this season.
