Schwartz won't return to Saturday's game versus the Senators after taking a skate blade to the face.
Schwartz was cut on his face late in the first period after Nick Cousins lost his balance following a hit from Eeli Tolvanen. For now, Schwartz can be considered day-to-day, though it's not encouraging that he was ruled out for the rest of this contest. If he's out Tuesday versus the Predators, Frederick Gaudreau (illness) or Bobby McMann (immigration) would be the candidates to take Schwartz's place in the lineup.

Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
Lindgren (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Senators.
The Kraken have a bug going around the locker room, and it'll cost Lindgren a game. One of Josh Mahura or Cale Fleury will check into the lineup for Lindgren in this contest. Lindgren will have until Tuesday to get healthy before the Kraken host the Predators.

Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Battling illness
Rotowire
Lindgren is expected to be a game-time decision for Saturday's outing against Ottawa because of an illness, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network.
Lindgren has two goals, nine points, 54 PIM, 35 hits and 96 blocks in 58 appearances in 2025-26. Adam Larsson is also questionable Saturday because of an illness, so the Kraken have multiple unknowns when it comes to their blue line. Josh Mahura and Cale Fleury will likely draw into the lineup if Lindgren and Larsson can't play.

Kraken's Adam Larsson: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Larsson (illness) will be a game-time decision against Ottawa on Saturday, per Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network.
With Larsson and Ryan Lindgren feeling under the weather, Cale Fleury and Josh Mahura could enter the lineup against the Senators. The 33-year-old Larsson has five goals, 19 points, 67 shots on net, 128 blocked shots and 82 hits across 61 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Gaudreau will be a game-time decision for Saturday's match against Ottawa due to an illness, per Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network.
Gaudreau has four goals and 18 points in 48 outings in 2025-26. If he ends up being unavailable Saturday, then Ryan Winterton is likely to dress as a member of the fourth line.
Kraken's Bobby McMann: Not expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
McMann (immigration) isn't expected to be with the Kraken for Saturday's game versus the Senators, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
It will take a few days for McMann's visa paperwork to get approved so that he can join the Kraken. The 29-year-old's status beyond Saturday has not yet been determined. The Kraken will be fine for Saturday, as they already have a full complement of healthy forwards on the roster.

McMann has generated 19 goals, 32 points, 125 shots on net and 135 hits in 60 appearances this season. He sat out two straight games before Friday's trade deadline for roster-management reasons. Once his immigration paperwork is in order, McMann could occupy a middle- or bottom-six role for the Kraken.

Eberle is having a good season with the Kraken, tallying 22 goals while adding 20 assists over 59 games. The 35-year-old is seeing first-line action as well as power-play time with the No. 1 unit. He has four goals and 11 assists with the man advantage in 2025-26.

Kraken's Will Reynolds: Two points for Newfoundland
Rotowire
Reynolds scored a goal and added an assist in QMJHL Newfoundland's 4-3 loss to Rouyn-Noranda on Thursday.
Reynolds has produced a career year with three goals and 20 helpers over 56 appearances. He doesn't add much on offense -- it's already clear his path forward as a professional will be in a pure shutdown role. The Kraken prospect will need plenty of development time before potentially getting to the NHL.

Kraken's Jaden Schwartz: Tickles twine Wednesday
Rotowire
Schwartz scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Schwartz ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally, which came just 31 seconds into the contest. He had two assists during that cold stretch. The veteran winger is up to 10 goals, 21 points, 74 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating over 41 appearances this season, though he continues to see steady middle-six minutes.

Kraken's Vince Dunn: Two points against former team
Rotowire
Dunn scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Dunn played well against his former team, but the same can't be said for many of his Kraken teammates. The defenseman has two goals and an assist over his last three outings as he continues to thrive in a top-pairing role. For the season, Dunn is up to 10 goals, 37 points, 127 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-17 rating. His scoring production has him on pace to challenge for the 50-point mark, a threshold he's reached just once in his career so far.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Handed loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Grubauer has lost two straight starts, both against the Blues, since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old netminder was seeing a slight majority of the playing time heading into the Olympics, but if he can't get results, the Kraken could turn to the hot hand of Joey Daccord. Grubauer is now 11-8-3 with a 2.53 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. The Kraken host the Senators on Saturday.
Lindgren (undisclosed) will play versus the Blues on Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.
Lindgren missed three games due to the injury. The 28-year-old will return on the third pairing, bumping Cale Fleury out of the lineup. Lindgren has just four points over 20 outings since the start of January, so fantasy managers won't have much need to track his production.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Set to start versus Blues
Rotowire
Grubauer will guard the home goal versus the Blues on Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.
Grubauer's last game was a loss to the Blues on Thursday, in which he stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 5-1 defeat. He has allowed at least three goals in five of his last seven outings. Grubauer will make his second start since the Olympics, and it comes after Joey Daccord's impressive performance in a 2-1 win over the Hurricanes on Monday, which makes the Kraken's goaltending choices all the more puzzling.
