Seattle is coming off a 4-3 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues and will try to end the 2024-25 season on a positive note, turning to Daccord between the pipes on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.

He has a 2.69 GAA and .908 SV% in 56 games this season (27-22-5). Seattle enters Tuesday's contest as +102 home underdogs against a Los Angeles team that defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 last night.
