Fleury will be back in the lineup to replace an injured Jamie Oleksiak who will be out for Friday's game. It will be Fleury's season debut with the Kraken after he place nine games with them last season. In 50 career games, Fleury has yet to pick up his first career assist, but has one goal and is a -7 plus/minus with 49 SOG.
With Jamie Oleksiak landing on IR on Thursday, Olofsson earned his first call-up of the season after picking up four assists in eight AHL games. The 27-year-old defenseman has 11 assists in 59 career NHL games with the Wild and Canadiens.
Oleksiak's movement to IR was retroactive to November 8th, meaning he'll be eligible to be activated for next Thursday's game vs. the Rangers. The Kraken did not disclose how long they expect him to be sidelined but used his roster spot to recall Gustav Olofsson from the AHL.
Tolvanen has been a healthy scratch for the last three games for Nashville after putting up three points (1G/2A) in eight games to start the season along with 11 SOG.
McCann has missed the Krakens last two games with a lower-body injury and hopes to return Tuesday after skating at practice earlier in the day. In 11 games this season, the 26-year-old has five goals and eight points through 11 games played.
Gibson was recalled Tuesday from the Coachella Valley Firebirds after being demoted last week and passing through waivers. The 29-year-old has struggled mightily this year, posting a glaringly high 7.61 GAA and .706 SV% in two games played with the Firebirds.
Daccord will make his first start of the season for Seattle after posting an ugly .850 SV% and 4.30 GAA with the Kraken last year. The 26-year-old even struggled prior to his call-up, posting a .880 SV% and 3.36 GAA for Coachella (AHL). He should face a ton of rubber as he takes on a Flames team that ranks third in the NHL in SOG per game with 37.4.
Gibson hasn't played in the NHL since getting two starts for the Tampa Bay Lightning back in the 2020-21 season. Across four career NHL seasons, he has four wins and a .901 SV% to go along with a 3.33 GAA through 16 total games played.
Gourde missed the Krakens previous game due to personal reasons but will be back in the lineup Tuesday after taking line rushes in practice. Through six games he has zero points to start his 2022-23 after finishing 2021-22 with 21 goals and 48 points.
Philipp Grubauer's nightmarish season continued Tuesday as the Seattle Kraken placed him on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. There is no timetable for the 30-year-old netminder's return. He was struggling prior to the injury, losing both his starts while posting a .860 SV% and 3.77 GAA. Joey Daccord was recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move.
Grubauer will be looking for his first win of the 2022-23 season after dropping his last outing 5-1 to Carolina in a 29-save losing effort. He has struggled yet again after a rough first season in Seattle, as he currently is sporting a .851 SV% and 4.26 GAA in two starts on the year. He faces a very high-scoring Colorado team (4.25 GF) that is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg its last time out.

Montour missed the last two games but will play Friday vs. the Lightning. With Aaron Ekblad out, Montour figures to be the PP1 quarterback for the Panthers moving forward. He may also play massive minutes at 5v5 next to Gustav Forsling. He had one goal and four shots in two games to open the season.
Brandon Montour is set to miss his second game of the early season Wednesday as it was announced he will miss Florida's matchup against Philadelphia with a lower-body injury. This comes as a blow to the blueline as the Panthers just lost Aaron Ekblad for 4-6 Weeks. Montour has a goal on four shots in his first two games in his second season as a member of the Florida Panthers.
