Seattle managed to clear up some defensive room on Tuesday by trading away Brian Dumoulin to Anaheim for a 2026 4th-round pick. The 32-year-old is entering his 12th NHL season and has 626 games played in his career. In 2023-24 he had six goals, 16 points and 20 PIMs in 80 games played.
Dumoulin picked up a lower-body injury early in Monday's game in New Jersey and did not play Tuesday against the Islanders, but is ready to return on Thursday. Ryker Evans will sit in his place.

Dumoulin suffered the injury late in the first period and was unable to return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury following the conclusion of Monday's game.
Dumoulin had a goal, 24 assists, 82 SOG, 16 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 82 games with Pittsburgh in 2022-23 and has signed a two-year, $6.3 million contract ($3,150,000 AAV) with the Seattle Kraken. The 31-year-old defenseman has spent his entire 10-year NHL career in Pittsburgh; picking up 19 goals, 120 assists, and a +93 plus/minus through 546 games played.
Dumoulin will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury that he suffered in Game 2. Mark Friedman will remain in the Penguins lineup with Dumoulin sidelined.
Dumoulin is dealing with "wear and tear" and may not be available for Tuesday's game vs. the Capitals. Monitor his status as the Penguins hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.
Dumoulin will likely miss Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after landing on the COVID-19 protocol list alongside Sidney Crosby. Luckily, it looks like Kris Letang is set to return and replace Dumoulin.
Dumoulin was nicked up in Game 1 and missed Monday's practice for "maintenance." It seems whatever was ailing Dumoulin is still lingering, leaving his status for Game 2 up in the air.
Dumoulin has missed the last 15 games with a lower-body injury but is expected to be back on the top pair with Kris Letang on Saturday afternoon. Dumoulin has one assist in seven games this season.
The Penguins defence continues to be decimated by injuries with Dumoulin joining Michael Matheson, Marcus Pettersson and Juuso Riikola on the injury report. With Dumoulin out, Pierre-Olivier Joseph is expected to be on the top-pair with Kris Letang.
Dumoulin will play for the first time since November 30th after undergoing surgery to repair lacerated tendons in his left ankle. Dumoulin has picked up seven points (1G / 6A) while averaging 1.2 blocked shots and 17 hits per game in 23 games this season.
