Hayden will make his season debut on Tuesday in Colorado.

Hayden has 249 games of NHL experience since being drafted in the third round by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft but has been limited to only nine games since the end of the 2021-22 season. The 29-year-old had 26 points (15G / 11A) in 65 games with the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL) last season. Hayden will replace Oliver Bjorkstrand in Seattle's lineup on Tuesady.

Bjorkstrand is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday in Colorado.

John Hayden will draw into Seattle's lineup on Tuesday, replacing Bjorkstrand, who will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season. Bjorkstrand was a Western Conference All-Star last season, scoring 59 points (20G / 39A) in 82 games. This season, Bjorkstrand has only five points (3G / 2A) in 13 games and has been held off the scoresheet in seven of the last eight.

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

Seattle has lost six of their last seven and will likely turn to Grubauer between the pipes on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche. Grubauer has been playing to his averages since joining Seattle, which is, not well enough, posting a 2.89 GAA and .886 SV% through five games (1-4-0). Seattle enters the action on Tuesday as +155 road underdogs against Gubauer's former club, the Avalanche, who are riding a three-game losing skid.

Daccord will start in Toronto on Thursday.

Daccord has seemingly taken over the crease in Seattle and will start between the pipes for a fourth straight game on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Daccord was stellar in his last outing, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in an 8-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in his previous outing, and has a respectable 2.80 GAA and .914 SV% through six games this season (4-1-1). Seattle enters the action on Thursday as +164 road underdogs against a Maple Leafs club that has lost three of their last four (1-2-1).

Montour (personal) is out on Thursday in Toronto due to the birth of his child.

After recording a four-point night (3G / 1A) in his previous contest, Montour will be away from the team on Thursday to celebrate the birth of his child. The 30-year-old Montour, in his first season with Seattle, is averaging a career-high 23:42 time-on-ice and has registered nine points (4G / 5A), 11 blocks, and 19 hits.

Daccord will start in Montreal on Tuesday.

Daccord appears to be running away with the starting job in Seattle as he'll make a third consecutive start on Tuesday. Daccord was unfortunate to pick up the loss his last time out, allowing just three goals on 38 shots in a 4-1 defeat to the Hurricanes. The 28-year-old netminder owns a 3-1-1 record and a .910 SV% on the season. He's got a great shot at getting back in the win column on Tuesday with the Kraken being -170 favourites in Montreal.

Fleury has been recalled from Coachella Valley (AHL).

Fleury has not been drawn into Seattle's lineup yet this season, but with Vince Dunn (upper body) not eligible to return from LTIR yet, Fleury has regularly been recalled from and returned to Coachella Valley (AHL) over the last two weeks. That said, Fleury has been a stranger to NHL action over the previous several seasons. After playing 41 games with the Montreal Canadiens in his rookie season in 2019-20, the 25-year-old Fleury has only played 22 combined NHL games since. Last season with Coachella Valley, Fleury had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 65 games.

Daccord will start against the Jets on Thursday.

The Kraken have rotated their goaltenders every game to open the 2024-25 season and that trend will continue on Thursday. Daccord was excellent his last time out, allowing just one goal on 22 shots in a 2-1 victory over the Flames on Saturday. Daccord owns a perfect 3-0-0 record on the year to go along with a .914 SV% and a 2.60 GAA. He has clearly outplayed Philipp Grubauer to date and could earn himself the lion's share of the starts if his fine form continues. Daccord and the Kraken enter action against the Jets as slight home underdogs at +105.
