Evans will take the place of Justin Schultz on the Kraken blue-line, with Schultz being listed as a scratch for Saturday's game in Anaheim. Evans has no goals and four assists in seven games with the Kraken this season.

McCann missed Wednesday's game in Los Angeles due to the lower-body injury. He has 14 goals and six assists in 33 games this season.

Meyers had appeared in Colorado's last five games but appears to be the odd man off the roster as he was assigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) on Friday. The 25-year-old returns to the minors with a goal, four SOG and a -1 plus/minus in five games in the NHL this season. He has miraculously yet to pick up an assist after 49 career NHL games.

Meyers made his season debut for the Avalanche on December 11th, scoring one point (1G / 0A). He played three more games and was held without a point. Yesterday, he was reassigned to the Colorado Eagles of the AHL, where he has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 17 games this season, but will make his return to the Avalanche today.

Meyers made his season debut for the Avalanche on December 11th, scoring one point (1G / 0A). He played three more games and was held without a point. He has now been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles of the AHL, where he has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 17 games this season.

Lajoie played three games with the Maple Leafs over the last two weeks, recording two hits and zero points while averaging just over 10 minutes on the ice. Lajoie will return to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, where he has five points (0G / 5A) and a +4 plus/minus in 14 games this season.

McCann was held off the scoresheet, playing only 9:10 before exiting Monday's contest against the Dallas Stars with a lower-body injury. McCann's offensive production has slipped after post career-highs in goals (40) and assists (30) last season but will still be a significant loss for the Kraken if he misses any extended time. After McCann exited the game, Tomas Tatar saw an increase in deployment for the Kraken.

It will be a fifth-consecutive start for Daccord, who has been in tremendous form since taking the starting reigns from the injured Philipp Grubauer (lower-body). Daccord has been unfortunate to pick up just two wins across his last four starts despite posting a phenomenal .954 SV% over that span. His spectacular play of late has helped raise his SV% to .908 on the season after a rather poor start to his 2023-24 campaign. He'll have his hands full tonight with the Kraken being +180 underdogs in Dallas.

Schwartz was placed on the Injured Reserve at the end of November with a lower-body injury and has now been moved to the Long-Term Injured Reserve for roster transactions. Before his injury, Schwartz was in the midst of a cold streak, scoring only one point (0G / 1A) and registering a -5 plus/minus in his last eight games.

Kartye's demotion seems to be nothing more than for cap related purposes and is expected to be figured out by early this weekend. The 22-year-old has played well in his first NHL season, with six goals, 11 points, 59 SOG, 25 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus in 30 games played.
