Schwartz missed Tuesday's morning skate due to maintenance but is apparently good to go for Tuesday's game vs. San Jose. The 31-year-old has enjoyed a fine season when healthy and is on pace for his most productive season since joining Seattle in 2021-22. He has 10 goals, 11 assists, 10 PIMs, 69 SOG and a -13 plus/minus in 33 games played so far this season.
Daccord will man the Kraken crease for his fifth straight start after being the first goalie off the ice Tuesday ahead of a matchup in San Jose. The 27-year-old is one of the season's best stories as he's had a breakout campaign with his 15-8-9 record, 2.36 GAA and .920 SV%. He draws the favourable matchup of the San Jose Sharks, who surprisingly had a three game winning streak snapped by a 5-2 loss to Buffalo last game and are tied for last in the NHL in goals per game (2.08).

Daccord stopped 32 of 34 shots in the Kraken's win over the Blackhawks on Wednesday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Daccord, who will make his 32nd appearance of the season on Friday. The 27-year-old has thoroughly enjoyed playing in Seattle this season, going 8-4-3 with a 2.02 GAA, .927 SV% and t
Tolvanen is battling an undisclosed ailment and his status is up in the air ahead of Friday's matchup against the St. Louis Blues. After scoring seven points (2G / 5A) during a five-game point streak, Tolvanen has been held to only one point (1G / 0A) in his last five games.
After being a full participant at practice since Tuesday, Beniers will return from a five-game absence on Friday against the St. Louis Blues. Before his injury, Beniers had been held to one point (1G / 0A) in his last seven games.
Schwartz has played eight straight games, recording five points (2G / 3A), after returning from a 16-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He has been playing on a line with Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand and will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game.
Hayden played two games with Seattle over the past two weeks, being held off the scoresheet while averaging under seven minutes on the ice. Hayden has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, scoring four goals with six assists (10 points) in 33 games.
Hayden will sit on Wednesday as Kailer Yamamoto draws back into the lineup in his place. Hayden is yet to register a point in two games with the Kraken this season.
Despite Philipp Grubauer being ready to return from a lower-body injury, it will be Daccord between the pipes for the Kraken when they host the Blackhawks on Wednesday. To say that Daccord deserves to hold onto the starting job in Seattle would be a massive understatement. Since Grubauer suffered the lower-body injury on December 9th, Daccord has been one of the best goaltenders in the NHL, posting a 10-4-3 record and a .939 SV% across 17 starts. He draws a dream matchup at home on Wednesday with the Kraken being -300 favourites over the Blackhawks.
Grubauer has been out since December 9th with a lower-body injury but was activated off the Injured Reserve Tuesday. Joey Daccord may have stolen the 32-year-old Grubauer's starting position after he posted a subpar 5-9-1 record, 3.25 GAA and .884 SV% before his injury early in the season.
