McCann (lower-body) returned to Seattle's practice on Friday.

McCann has not played since October 20th and few details have been shared about his injury, but he returned to practice on Friday, indicating his return to the lineup is on the immediate horizon. The 29-year-old McCann has four points (3G / 1A) in five games this season.

Jared McCann
Grubauer will start against the Jets on Thursday.

Even with an injury to starting netminder Joey Daccord, Seattle has failed to put their trust in Grubauer, leaning more on Matt Murray, but they will turn to Grubauer on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. Once considered a top-10 goalie, finishing as high as third in the Vezina voting in his final season with the Colorado Avalanche in 2020-21, Grubauer has been far from reliable since joining the Kraken. In 159 games with Seattle, he has a subpar 3.06 GAA and .890 SV% in 159 games (58-78-13). In three games this season (2-1-0), he has a 2.49 GAA and .875 SV%. Seattle enters the action on Thursday as +125 home underdogs against a Winnipeg team that has scored one goal or fewer in three of its last four games (1-3-0).

Philipp Grubauer
Gaudreau (upper-body) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and is getting close to returning.

Gaudreau has not played since mid October due to an upper-body injury, and is about four weeks into his original 4-6 week timeline. The 32-year-old Gaudreau was averaging 12:52 time-on-ice and has one assist through four games before his injury.

Grubauer was the first goalie off the ice at Seattle's morning skate.

Even with an injury to starting netminder Joey Daccord, Seattle has failed to put their trust in Grubauer, leaning more on Matt Murray, but they will likely turn to Grubauer on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. Once considered a top-10 goalie, finishing as high as third in the Vezina voting in his final season with the Colorado Avalanche in 2020-21, Grubauer has been far from reliable since joining the Kraken. In 159 games with Seattle, he has a subpar 3.06 GAA and .890 SV% in 159 games (58-78-13). In three games this season (2-1-0), he has a 2.49 GAA and .875 SV%.

Daccord (upper-body) practiced on Wednesday for the first time since being placed on IR.

Daccord has not played since November 5th due to an upper-body injury, but appears to be inching closer to a return after practicing on Wednesday. Matt Murray has seen most of the action between the pipes since Daccord's injury and will likely continue to do so until Daccord returns.

Joey Daccord
Murray will start against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

With Joey Daccord on Injured Reserve, Seattle continues rolling with their tandem of Matt Murray and Philipp Grubauer. Murray returns to the crease on Tuesday after a strong performance in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%). The 31-year-old Murray continues his search for his first win of the season, posting a 2.72 GAA and .900 SV% through three appearances (0-2-0). The Kraken enter Tuesday's contest as -113 home favorites against a Columbus Blue Jackets team coming off a disappointing 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers last night.
