The Kraken will turn to Daccord for the 22nd time this season when they travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Thursday. Daccord came out on the losing end of his last start, allowing three goals on 27 shots in a 3-0 defeat to the Senators. Despite the loss, Daccord still owns a respectable 12-7-2 record on the season to go along with an impressive .915 SV%. He's a solid bet to get back in the win column on Thursday as the Kraken enter action at -140 on the money line.

Kartye will take a seat on Thursday in order to make room for the debut of Kaapo Kakko. Kartye has three goals and three assists in 32 games this season.

The Kraken acquired Kakko from the New York Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for defenseman Will Borgen, a 2025 third-round draft pick, and a 2025 sixth-round draft pick. Kakko was the second-overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and was never able to live up to lofty expectations in New York, averaging just 15 goals and 17 assists per 82 games across parts of six seasons with the team. Kakko joins a much younger roster in Seattle where he should see an expanded role at 5v5 and potentially on the power-play after being limited to a bottom-six role for the majority of his time as a Ranger.

Stephens has played the last nine games with Seattle, recording one point (0G / 1A), but will be returning to Coachella Valley (AHL). The 27-year-old Stephens had four points (3G / 1A) in 11 games with Coachella Valley before his call-up in November.

Winterton played the last two games for Seattle but has been reassigned to the Coachella Valley Firebirds (AHL). The 21-year-old has 15 points (7G / 8A) in 16 games with Coachella Valley this season.

Seattle will turn to Daccord between the pipes for only the second time in their last six games. The 28-year-old Daccord has been tremendous this season, giving Seattle a chance to win on most nights, posting a stellar 2.42 GAA and .916 SV% in 20 games (12-6-2). Seattle is coming off a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and enters Tuesday's contest as +113 home underdogs against a red-hot Ottawa Senators club with a 7-2-1 record in their last 10.

Jonny Brodzinski will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators, allowing Kakko to return from a one-game absence. The 23-year-old Kakko has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 29 games this season but only has one point (0G / 1A) in his last six contests.

Schultz was a second-round pick, 43rd overall, of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. After three great seasons with the University of Wisconsin, Schultz made his NHL debut with the Edmonton Oilers in the 2012-13 season. The 34-year-old Schultz is calling it quits with 324 points (71G / 253A) in 745 career games, including winning back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017.

McCann recorded an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, snapping a season-worst four-game pointless skid, but suffered an undisclosed injury that kept him from practicing on Wednesday. The 28-year-old McCann is averaging a career-high 17:50 time-on-ice and has 24 points (10G / 14A) in 30 games this season.

Grubauer will make his 11th start of the season when the Kraken host the Bruins on Thursday. Grubauer grabbed the win his last time out, allowing five goals on 37 shots in a 7-5 victory over the Rangers on Sunday. The 33-year-old netminder has just two wins on the season to go along with a lackluster .870 SV%. He's got a decent chance of securing his third victory of the season tonight as the Kraken are an even +100 on the money line.

Winterton has enjoyed a productive season in the AHL, registering 15 points in 16 games, though he's posted just a single assist across 15 career games with the Kraken. The former third-round draft pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft could slot into the lineup for Seattle's game against the Bruins on Thursday.

Daccord was battling an illness and did not play the last two games (1-1-0) but will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 28-year-old Daccord has been solid between the pipes for Seattle this season, posting a 2.50 GAA and .913 SV% in 19 games (12-6-1). He has won two straight contests, allowing four goals and posting a .917 SV%. Seattle enters Tuesday's contest as +168 home underdogs against a Florida team averaging 5.2 goals per game over their last six (5-0-1).
