  • Kraken's Brian Dumoulin: Garners assist

    Dumoulin notched an assist in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Dumoulin snapped a 10-game point drought with his helper on Jordan Eberle's first-period tally. The 32-year-old Dumoulin has filled in on the top pairing while Vince Dunn (upper body) is out of the lineup. Dumoulin has 13 points, 55 shots on net, 61 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 65 appearances, doing little to earn fantasy interest in most formats.

  • Kraken's Justin Schultz: Records power-play helper

    Schultz notched a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Schultz has two points over eight games in March, matching his production from seven outings in February. The 33-year-old defenseman has seen steady power-play time this month while Vince Dunn (upper body) is sidelined. Schultz has 20 points (six on the power play), 78 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 57 appearances this season, playing mainly in a third-pairing role.

  • Eeli Tolvanen RW | SEA

    Kraken's Eeli Tolvanen: Dishes two assists

    Tolvanen logged a pair of assists, two hits and four PIM in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Tolvanen set up both of the Kraken's goals in this contest after getting shuffled up to the top line amid significant changes by head coach Dave Hakstol. The 24-year-old Tolvanen had produced just four points over his previous 16 contests. He's at 36 points (nine on the power play), 137 shots on net, 171 hits, 67 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 67 appearances.

  • Kraken's Matty Beniers: Capitalizes on fortunate bounce

    Beniers scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    A shot deflected off multiple players, including Beniers, before the puck landed on the doorstep of the goal. Beniers was the first to get to it, tapping it in over a defender's stick. The 21-year-old has four points over his last seven outings and is up to 10 goals, 28 points (eight on the power play), 111 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 63 contests overall.

  • Jordan Eberle RW | SEA

    Kraken's Jordan Eberle: Pots goal in loss

    Eberle scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    This was Eberle's first goal in five games since he signed a two-year contract extension March 8. The winger had gone eight contests without a goal before scoring in the first minute Monday. He's up to 16 tallies, 39 points, 147 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 64 appearances this season, well off the pace that saw him put up 63 points a year ago.

  • Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Makes relief appearance

    Grubauer stopped 23 of 26 shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Daccord was pulled early in the first period after allowing three goals on four shots. Grubauer was able to steady things for a while, but the Kraken's offense ultimately didn't give him enough support to turn the game around. The loss belongs to Daccord, so Grubauer stays at 10-11-2 on the year with a 2.87 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 27 appearances. With an upcoming road back-to-back in Vegas on Thursday and in Arizona on Friday, both Grubauer and Daccord should get a chance to start soon.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Pulled early Monday

    Daccord stopped just one of four shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

    The Kraken were unable to cover the damage Daccord left behind over the first 5:41 of the game, so he'll take his third straight loss. Philipp Grubauer stopped 23 of 26 shots in a relief appearance during the Kraken's worst loss in 2024. Daccord is down to 17-15-10 with a 2.52 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 43 appearances this season. The Kraken have a back-to-back Thursday in Vegas and Friday in Arizona, so both Daccord and Grubauer should be due for starts later in the week.

  • Jacob Bryson D | BUF

    Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Hands out assist Monday

    Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

    Bryson has picked up three points over nine contests in March. The 26-year-old continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role -- he has played regularly since Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) was ruled out for the season and Erik Johnson was traded to the Flyers. Bryson has six points, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 23 outings overall.

  • Peyton Krebs C | BUF

    Sabres' Peyton Krebs: Generates helper in win

    Krebs logged an assist, four PIM, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

    Krebs remains mired in a goal drought, which is now up to 27 contests. He has just seven helpers in that span, and he's not contributing much else to offset the lack of scoring. The 23-year-old shouldn't be expected to rise above a third-line role with such limited offense. He's at 14 points, 63 shots on net, 61 PIM, 72 hits and a plus-5 rating through 67 appearances on the year.

  • Dylan Cozens C | BUF

    Sabres' Dylan Cozens: Nabs assist in win

    Cozens logged an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

    Cozens has three points over his last four contests, but he'd gone four games without a point prior to that. The 23-year-old remains in a top-six role despite some inconsistency on offense this month. He's up to 41 points, 171 shots on net, 87 hits and a minus-3 rating through 66 appearances.
