Daccord will start in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Daccord will be back between the pipes for the first time since February 24th after Philipp Grubauer got the nod in each of the Kraken's previous four games.

The 27-year-old netminder owns a .919 SV% and a 16-12-10 record on the season. He draws a tough assignment on Tuesday as the Kraken find themselves as +140 underdogs in Winnipeg.

Grubauer will start against the Penguins on Thursday.

Grubauer has started two of the last three games and appeared in relief in the other.

Seattle is a slight -115 home favourite against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that has scored 15 goals in their last three games (3-0-0).
